RESOURCES FOR PARENTS

The Counseling Center is here for parents too! We have a wide range of tools to help parents deal with the complex issues that surround raising a teenager. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to take an active role in students' education, and the Counseling Center staff is always willing to consult with parents. If additional intervention is needed, both Gateway Center for Human Services and Ketchikan Indian Community offer counseling services for teens and families.
