In this video we learn about the Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch in Miles City, Montana, Kelly Althoff and the dedicated local team provide comprehensive, community-based behavioral and mental health services for youth and families throughout Eastern Montana. Guided by a mission rooted in hope, healing, and meaningful support—“Caring people, preparing youth for life”—the office focuses on helping children thrive while keeping families safely together whenever possible. Each program is delivered with a foundation in the organization’s core values of Faith, Integrity, Relationship, and Stewardship (FIRSt), ensuring that every child receives compassionate, ethical, and individualized care tailored to their unique needs.
The Miles City office offers a broad range of services designed to support children in their homes, schools, and communities, emphasizing early intervention and family-centered care. Services include targeted case management, which coordinates treatment planning, advocacy, and monitoring to ensure youth and families receive the right services at the right time. Therapeutic youth mentoring provides one-on-one guidance, behavioral support, and structured activities to help young people build resilience, confidence, and life skills. Family support services assist parents and guardians with practical tools for strengthening family dynamics, including chore charts, reward systems, effective discipline strategies, conflict resolution, and improved communication. Supervised visits create safe, structured environments for children to maintain important relationships, while telehealth therapy provides flexible, remote access to behavioral and mental health services for youth who need consistent care.
The Miles City office has a rich history in the community. Formerly operating as Youth Dynamics, it merged with Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch in 2025 due to their shared mission and aligned values. This merger strengthened the local presence, bringing decades of experience and a continuum of care to youth facing behavioral, emotional, or substance-use challenges. By providing services in the least restrictive environment possible, the team aims to prevent the need for higher levels of care, such as residential treatment at their on-campus facility in Billings or group home placements, keeping children connected to their families and communities whenever possible.
The office welcomes any family, guardian, or community member seeking support for an at-risk youth. The knowledgeable team is committed to helping families navigate resources across Eastern Montana, providing guidance and support in a stress-free manner.
