Service Learning New Beginnings
Service Learning and New Beginnings are programs designed to help at-risk teens who have demonstrated  behavioral problems at home, at school or the community. 

Parents are involved in various parts of these programs in order to help impact the parental relationship and affect change.

 

Teens are involved in group experiences with professional counselors designed to address the following areas:

  • Personal Responsibility 

  • Resisting Peer Pressure 

  • Making Healthy Choices 

  • Clarifying Values 

  • Developing Self-Worth 

  • Civic Responsibility

  • Goal Setting

 

Jill: I didn’t know what to do with my 14-year-old son.  He had been getting in trouble at school and even skipping classes.  He had withdrawn from the entire family since his father and I divorced.  I was really worried about the friends he was with and the kinds of things he might be involved with.  Our FCS counselor helped us begin to communicate with each other.  The counselor also helped me understand the difference between normal adolescent behavior and problem behavior.  Now, my son and I are able to talk more without feeling defensive.  And I don’t overreact when we disagree.  I can feel some of the old bonding we had when he was younger.”
