School-Based Counseling
School-based counseling services for youth who experience behavioral, emotional or substance abuse problems that affect school performance.
Youth services
Today’s youth face many challenges, whether at home, school or in the community. The first step is prevention and giving youth the skills and resources they need to manage the ups and downs of everyday life. Our prevention specialists work in the schools and community using evidence-based practices that focus on substance use and other destructive behaviors.
We also understand young people are confronted with situations that create emotional and mental distress. At times like this, they may need professional assistance to provide the support necessary for recovery.
Whether it is outpatient or community-based services, our skilled and compassionate health professionals are available throughout the region 24/7.
Prevention Services
Youth counselors work closely with local school districts and community partners to raise awareness around substance abuse, addiction and mental health challenges confronting students.
