The counselor serves as a resource person for parents and teachers. Twice a year a six week Parent Education course is offered at Long Neck. It is free of charge and opened to parents and caretakers of students. It is run by volunteer teachers who teach students the effects of drugs and alcohol, build positive self-esteem, and decision making skills. They use their training and skills to team with educators, parents, and other mental health professionals to ensure that every child learns in a safe, healthy and supportive environment.
