Action Family Foundation know how to help teens navigate the complex waterways of abusive relationships and poor peer groups, as well as physical and mental health issues.
‘Troubled teen’ is a term used for a youth that is having problems which are causing negative behaviors; if these problems continue to affect the teen, it could affect their ability to develop into a happy, successful adult. These problems may be beyond the normal issues that all adolescents face or they could be a symptom of the teen’s inability to deal with the normal issues teenagers face.
The ACTION Parent & Teen Support Program is a gathering of concerned parents who meet to offer each other support and practical solutions to problems. A parent who has been trained as an ACTION group facilitator, who has experienced just how tough it is to raise a teenager in this day and age, leads each group. And best of all ACTION attendance is free of charge.
Because of the ACTION team’s own experience in dealing with teen problems, they are able to understand and offer tried and true effective suggestions. The team at ACTION knows that parents want the best for their family and realize how important family is to all of us. They also understand that trying to face these problems alone can be an overwhelming and even frightening experience at times. ACTION offers a safe place to talk, cry, laugh, and to discuss your teen’s behavior with others who can offer practical solutions that work.
The ACTION Parent & Teen Support program is a non-profit program, which supports groups of concerned parents who meet to offer each other support and practical solutions to problems. In addition to the weekly support groups, ACTION provides individual and family counseling for children, adolescents and adults on a sliding fee scale; low-cost drug testing, immediate inpatient and outpatient referrals; crisis intervention, and an emergency crisis team.
ACTION offers a number of treatment settings to provide different levels of intervention to an individual in crisis. They provide a multidisciplinary approach to address all aspects of individuals’ mental health and well-being, including Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services, half and full day Partial Hospitalization and 24-hour Residential Care.
