Crisis/Respite Center:

The purpose for this center is to provide a safe place for teens to go when they are in some type of crisis situation during the night when most social service agencies are closed.  Typical situations that could bring a teen to us may be:

• A confrontation with parents or friends 
• Being kicked out of the house with no where to go.
• Verbal, physical or sexual abuse
•  Suicidal thoughts
• Victim of violence or rape

Once at the center counselors will talk with them about their situation and work out an action plan with immediate, short and long term goals to help bring about positive change in their life and relationships.  Mediation services will also be provided where teens and parents can meet to resolve the current family situation.
