About YMCA Counseling Service - South Shore Center
The YMCA of Greater New York has been providing comprehensive services to the Staten Island community since 1980. Counseling Service serves whole families and offers a range of programs for young children (5-17), teens (12-18), and adults (18 and older).
They welcome all people who have been affected by alcohol and drug use and use proven methods to partner with families in recovery. Their youth services help children understand they are not the cause of their family member's addiction and helps them learn how to process and cope. They use age appropriate strategies and work to decrease risk factors while increasing protective factors.
Their teen substance use recovery services target teens who are "at-risk" for developing a substance use disorder, as well as those who are currently using drugs and/or alcohol. They work with teens to build individual strengths and gain the necessary building blocks for success in school and growing to their full potential.
The YMCA's Counseling Service offers many specialized services to meet clients where they are. They offer prevention and early intervention programs, anger management for teens, medication-assisted treatment, peer services, trauma services, a women's group, parenting skills classes, drug checking kits, and more.
