Counseling and parenting services came to fruition out of the need to not only ensure Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County Club Members were safe and healthy during their time spent after school at the Clubs, but also beyond club hours. Through a partnership with Oaklawn and Family & Children’s Center, counseling is provided to Club Members at all five of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County sites. Services are provided through a comprehensive program that includes the following;
1. Training on the effects of trauma on children for all Boys & Girls Club staff
2. Support for staff in dealing with member behavioral issues
3. Specialized Trauma Focused therapy training
4. Integration of emotional and behavioral education/support into existing Boys & Girls Club programming
5. Counseling/ Support services, including art therapy, play therapy , EMDR and TF-CBT to children identified as suffering from trauma
