    Counseling

Therapeutic counseling, so fundamental to the work we do with students and their families, consists of:

Individual Counseling

Crises Counseling and Intervention

Individualized Service Planning

Group Counseling

House Meetings

Parent and Family Counseling

Transition Counseling

A Therapeutic Environment

Our students benefit from each of these counseling components, but it is our integrated therapeutic alliance---the Director of Counseling and his staff working directly with the students' House counselors and House leaders---that gives our program its greatest therapeutic advantage over community-based programs, and contributes most to the psychological healing and growth that goes on at The Family Foundation School.
