Safe Talk For Teens

ying to navigate through the challenges and difficulties of teenage life. At times, they exhibit early warning signs such as truancy, declining grades, changes in behavior at home and school, use and/or abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, family issues, and relationship issues. Our services include a free, safe, and confidential venue for teenagers and their families to meet with our experienced Life Skills Coaches. We focus on Positive & Healthy Coping tools, improved decision making utilizing a Values Clarification/Goal Setting Exercise. When necessary we act as a portal by referring to counselors and programs in the area. In many of our teenagers, we see positive outcomes very quickly, in terms of their grades, attendance, social behaviors, and relationships with their parents. A number of them show improved ability to face conflict, solve problems, and identify their values as they make decisions daily. Our primary goal is to redirect these teens before they engage in more serious, harmful, and/or risky behaviors.
