a mental health resource providing professional and confidential
clinical and programmatic services. We provide support,
information, and direction to youth on issues such as family, social,
peer, stress, loss, alcohol, drug, and other youth-related concerns.
We base our services upon a self-help philosophy in which youth
utilize the expertise of the staff to expand their awareness and
understanding, and eventually learn the skills to more effectively
take control of their lives. </font></p>
