Community Based Counseling
Florida Keys Children’s Shelter has a master’s
level counselor at Coral Shores High School,Marathon High
School and KeyWest High School. These counselors are available
to help kids and families work through issues with truancy,
anger management and any other conflict that may arise, in
any family, throughout the teenage years. These counselors
are easily accessible by contacting your local high school
or by calling 305.731.6166.
To the Parents: Your situation, although
unique, is never as hopeless as you might think. We know that
you want a happy, loving and supportive family - we all do.
Parenting, step-parenting and grand-parenting can be challenging
in the best of circumstances. When life’s “ups
and
downs” have thrown turmoil into a family situation,
being a “parent” can become even more challenging.
Fortunately, you don’t have to face these issues alone.
Don’t wait until the problem is too big to handle, give
us a call today and please remember that hope is never lost
and help is always available.We can not do it for you, but
we can help.
Voluntary Shelter Placement is Available
There may come a time when the best case scenario for yourself
as a parent, your child and your family may be to place your
child in a temporary shelter placement. This temporary respite
allows you as a parent to cool off and allows time for you
to evaluate what is working and what is not working. It allows
the child to do the same. Voluntary placement, working with
your community based counselor, can be made available in our
Tavernier Residential program for kids eleven through seventeen
years of age.
