Spectrum Youth and Family Services
The Spectrum shelter helped me out so much. It led to so many other things. Spectrum worked with me to get a stable place to live. They helped me find a job. I got my GED. Spectrum staff threw a graduation party for me. They supported me when I had some hard times - And they helped me find healthy and positive hobbies. Without Spectrum, I don't know where I would be today. They saved my life and helped me open my eyes and realize how much was out there for me.
Counseling
The Counseling Program provides individual outpatient services for adolescents and young adults (14-22) and parents. Counselors use strength and evidence based theories and practices that have demonstrated efficacy with this age group.
The services include: screening/assessment and treatment/counseling for substance use and mental health problems; coordinated medical treatment services and psychiatric evaluation; parent education, training, support; and counseling for families and caregivers; coordinated educational /vocational services; and assistance with accessing Medicaid and other entitlements and services.
In 2009, 362 youth were provided with mental health and substance abuse counseling services through Spectrum.
To make an appointment or referral, call: 864-7423 ext. 310. All voicemail is confidential.
