Who We Are

We are a community-based organization with experienced outreach counselors committed to:

helping families learn and re-learn communication skills
assisting youth who are having difficulties in school
supporting families and schools as they help youth define boundaries
helping youth process tough choices
helping families find hope

Since 1992, Teens Alone counselors have helped almost 3000 of our community's middle, junior, and high school youth and their families.

One way counselors bring about change is to help teens acknowledge that there are consequences in life. If a youth is talking about running away, counselors help paint a picture of what life away from home is really like; that it may involve abuse, chemical use, prostitution, disease, pregnancy, criminal activity and hunger.

Teens Alone counselors consider themselves guides, helping families identify strengths, work towards solutions, and remind family members that they have successfully solved problems in the past and can do so again. Teens Alone counselors listen to youth and families and help them rebuild relationships.
