At Risk Youth Programs, Troubled Youth Schools and Services
Adolescence is an extremely challenging time for a child, and when a child is at risk of jeopardizing his future by making poor choices and creating chaos at home, it impacts the entire family.
The at-risk youth programs website was launched in September 2003 to help parents.

How Can You Tell If Your Child is At-Risk?
If your child is struggling with any of the following issues, he or she may be at risk:
- Anger issues
- Defiance issues
- Drug Substance abuse (drug, alcohol or medication)
- Poor academic performance
- Poor sense of commitment to responsibilities
- Poor family relationships
- Socially withdrawn/poor social relationships
- Negative/harmful peer relationships
- Depression
- Self-destructive behavior (e.g. climbing rooftops)
- Deliberate self-harming (e.g. self-inflicted cuts on the wrist)
- Carrying/keeping contraband or illegal items
- Sexually promiscuous
Why is My Child Exhibiting At-Risk Behaviors?
Typically, children who are “at-risk” struggle to cope with the stress of their lives. Due to the pressures they face today, these children are more likely to break down mentally. Whether to gain attention or as a means to get what they want, they are involved in self-destructive behaviors and harmful actions that affect not only themselves but others as well.
For some children, feelings associated with anxiety and depression become triggers to acting recklessly, and in extreme cases, families find themselves in situations where the child is having explosive episodes or is becoming a danger to herself or others. If you suspect your child is at risk, you need to take action now before it is too late.
At-Risk Youth Programs and Treatment
Fear is a common obstruction when it comes down to selecting a therapeutic program. There are many uncertainties that linger in the minds of parents, guardians and educators.
Parents wonder:
- is this youth treatment program suitable?
- does the program accept health insurance?
- are they as good as they’re described online?
The only way to dispel fear is to become familiar with the options available to your family. Every day, we help parents by asking the hard questions and then attempting to answer them to the fullest of our abilities. We share other parents’ transformation stories and help you build an actionable strategy to suit your child’s needs.
Our experienced Family Advisors will guide you through every step of the enrollment process. Considering the nature of the treatment programs and available budget, your child will receive the specialized education and mental health help they deserve.
A timely intervention is what an at-risk youth need. If you don’t act now, the problems your teenager is having could get worse, and it will have a profound effect on his or her future life.
