Mental Health Services now available at SPARK
SPARK will be offering mental health services on site at no cost to SPARK teens.
SPARK's new mental health therapist will be offering individual therapy open to any SPARK youth and when appropriate, their family members or other important people in their lives. We will have walk-in hours as well as scheduled appointment times Monday through Thursday between the hours of 12pm and 6pm. Depending on youth interest, counselors will facilitate therapeutic and skill building groups to support the full person wellness of SPARK teens. Any therapeutic services will be optional and based on the consent of both teen and parent/guardian.
In addition to counseling, SPARK’s mental health counselors will be available for Mental Health Check-ins. These are informal 15 minute conversations with SPARK teens about how they are doing and what’s going on in their lives. If appropriate, they can learn about other resources that might support them in their goals.
All services are grant funded and will be provided at no cost to SPARK youth and their families.
