Counseling
MCYS offers a variety of counseling services to all youth, up to the age of 21, and their families. Parents and family are the first and most important influence in every child's life, providing a foundation of love and support. We believe that positive youth development is an ongoing and intentional process. Young people need support, acceptance, high expectations, affection and warmth. They also need opportunities to explore, create, contribute and belong.
Our staff works with youth and their families to develop the skills needed to become successful within their life, family, and community. Our counseling services include: Individual and Family Counseling – Addresses many types of issues related to a youth's family conflict, including:
MCYS Counseling offers a safe place to explore and resolve feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. The counselor will meet with parents and guardians to ensure family awareness, cooperation and to share the results of general counseling progress. Group Counseling – Groups that are requested by individual schools deal with issues such as aggressive behaviors, grief, divorce, effective communication, social skills and gender-specific issues. Group counseling and skills development are provided by MCYS Youth and Family Services counselors and case managers at schools throughout Montgomery County. Youth may be referred to group counseling by school counselors, parents, or self-referral. All youth who participate in group counseling must have signed permission forms from a parent or guardian on file in the school administration office.
