Adolescent And Teen Programs

Academic pressures, new relationships and influences from friends or family can result in emotions and behaviors that are difficult to manage. When teens feel anxious or stressed, display an lack of self-confidence, act out in aggression or skip school, it could point to a more serious mental health issues.

The Providence Center’s programs for teens ages 12 to 17 offer solutions. Services help teens develop coping skills, manage their emotions and behaviors and improving communication skills. The result is better school performance, positive behaviors and improved relationships with family, friends and teachers.
