Early intervention services are offered through the YSB to assist individulals and families experiencing changes within the family, school problems, and high risk behaviors. We offer a variety of approaches to solving immediate problems, strngthening skill development, and building healthy relationships.
Counseling is short-term in nature.
A sliding fee payment scale is used. Financial support from counties and local communities allow our fees to remain low. No one is refused services because of the inability to pay. Groups focusing on angry or violent behavior are offered through a special grant to students at Lino Lakes, Columbus, Linwood elementary, the Forest Lake Alternative Learning Center, Southwest, and Central Junior High in Forest Lake. Students learn how to cope with and handle anger in a positive way.
