The counseling program is grounded in the Youth Development Model, a strengths-based approach, and is committed to “best practice” as part of the overall mission. We believe that substance use and mental health issues are inherently linked and should be addressed in a comprehensive and integrated approach. We believe that individuals are connected to family groups, biological or otherwise, and that family work is an important part of counseling adolescents. Thus, family and couples communication skills and parent education are an integrated component of counseling services. Services are empirically based, using current research models with adolescents and families, and are integrated to reflect these orientations.
