Being a teenager is hard.  Concerns about school, friends, relationships, family and the future grow and change constantly.  At the same time, physical and hormonal changes take them by storm.  Many teenagers feel helpless, while simultaneously confronting major issues for the first time.

For adolescents, Kids in Crisis offers its unique TeenTalk program, placing an in-school counselor at area middle schools and high schools.  This experienced Counselor provides a confidential support system for teens dealing with the issues and stresses of adolescence.  The TeenTalk Counselor serves as an important advocate for teenagers and a critical adjunct to school staffs.  In addition to being there for teens, TeenTalk Counselors provide group sessions for parents and students on topic ranging from internet safety to peer relationships. 

If you are interested in learning how TeenTalk can be offered in your school, please contact Michael Ferguson at 622-6556.
