Frequently Asked Questions

Is Safe Talk For Teens only for kids with substance abuse problems?

Not exclusively. Our program aims to improve youth success through healthy coping skills, decision making and goal setting. Our program benefits all youth whether or not they have traditionally defined “problems.” If we identify that a kid has substance abuse problems, anger issues, or mental health issues that require more attention than we can offer, we refer them for counseling or other services.
How much does it cost to participate in Safe Talk For Teens?

Our services are 100% free for the youth that we serve. Our organization is funded from grants from private foundations, and generous donations from community members, businesses, parents and organizations. You can make a helpful contribution by donating online, over the phone or in person.
Is Safe Talk For Teens only for teenagers?

We currently serve any youth from ages 8 to 19.
Is Safe Talk For Teens a therapy treatment?

We are not licensed counselors. Instead, we are youth advisors who engage in life coaching strategies and provide a safe place for kids to come to talk and vent openly with an experienced adult. We listen. Many kids don’t feel comfortable speaking with their parents or someone at school about their problems or challenges so they are able to openly communicate with us.
