Teen Talking Circles are not considered therapy, and we cannot perform the role of therapists. Should issues arise that are beyond our
professional capacity, we will contact guardians and provide a list of trained,
professional counselors or therapists.
In addition, we are legally mandated to inform guardians and/or Child
Protective Services if your child shares something with us, in or out of
Circle, that we feel is dangerous to their self or others. Please visit www.teentalkingcircles.org
for more information.
Cost: $60 a month Please note: no one will denied for
lack of funds, contact for scholarship
