TranslateFamily Therapy
Family Therapy is a highly successful family intervention program for at-risk youth ages 10-18. This model works within the family to transform maladaptive coping mechanisms, building positive skills and connections for youth to resources that will match their particular risks and needs. Youth's problems range from acting out to conduct disorders to alcohol and/or substance abuse. Families receive case management and 8-12 mandatory therapy sessions focused on the youth and involving family member(s).
