Mental Health Counseling
The Clinical Team at Covenant House approaches every “youth at risk” as a unique individual, worthy of our best efforts to help heal the pain they have endured in their lives, as well as helping them to find effective ways to manage their lives, present and future. Therapists provide both individual and group therapy. A psychiatrist consultant also assesses youth for mental health concerns, and prescribes medication as needed. Finally, a nursing staff works closely with the youth on their mental and physical health needs. Youth may also participate in a variety of groups that address issues such as substance abuse, high-risk sexual behavior, men’s and women’s issues, goal setting, sexual identity issues, social and cognitive skills.
