Face to Face Health and Counseling Service Inc

Face to Face works comprehensively with young people experiencing the greatest disparities related to health, housing, wealth, and other life outcomes. Our work addresses the immediate needs caused by these disparities, as well as disrupting issues and systems that cause these disparities.By engaging young people from their strengths and providing supportive relationships, we have a positive impact on their development. Our approach is trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and rooted in evidence-based practice.Our current strategic plan includes goals to grow and diversify revenue, build our capacity to respond to the growing needs of youth, cultivate youth leadership, and advance system change. Our system change goals include workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion objectives; policy advocacy; and youth work to influence systems that contribute to youth homelessness and economic and health disparities.In response to the affordable housing crisis for youth, we are expanding our day shelter to meet the growing need for services. We are also beginning the process of building 24 units of deeply affordable housing with wraparound support at 1170 Arcade Street in east St. Paul.

Our low-barrier medical clinic provides walk-in and scheduled appointments including reproductive health, prenatal care, general medical care, case management, and more. We assist youth with obtaining health insurance and never turn them away for lack of ability to pay.Mental health services include case management, outpatient, walk-in, and shelter-based therapy at our locations and in the community. We also offer integrative health services such as massage and acupuncture. Community services available to all ages include health education, HIV outreach and testing, and health insurance navigation.
