Youth Counseling
As a community, we are frustrated seeing young people suffer the effects of their environment. It is exhausting to see so many falling into the gang trap. Yet another teen death, whether from gang violence or suicide, is so unnecessary. We need to come together to provide youth counselors in the community and avoid the senseless loss of these young lives.
Youth counseling is a service that is desperately needed in our community. Out of 42 local organizations, only three have youth counseling services and only one serves the general public. Child Link hopes to provide youth counseling to all those teens who seek help.
Child Link will have clinical consultations to evaluate the children's and adolescents' physical and psychological makeup and thus determine their needs. Our licensed professionals work with the youth and their families to formulate a plan to provide them with the treatment required. This may include individual, group and family therapies, as well as referral linkage for other needed services.
The need for youth counselors is greater today than ever before. Without resources, valuable programs are often unable to benefit those who really need it. Please join us in building a comprehensive youth counseling program in the Pilsen, Little Village, and Lawndale areas that will benefit so many of our troubled youth.
