Youth Groups
Youth groups are tailored for specific ages and are designed to give adolescents and teens tools to address social, emotional, and mental health concerns. These groups provide excellent opportunities to make positive connections with peers while learning essential coping skills. Groups address various topics that may include building self-esteem, dealing with emotions, cultivating healthy friendships, developing social skills, dealing with problems at home or school, managing daily stressors and more. Groups are offered at many area schools and in our office.​
School-Based Services
Ozaukee Family Services works closely with school districts throughout the county to offer behavioral health programs right in many schools. These services include counseling, CST, youth groups and suicide prevention programs. This increases accessibility to our programs by removing barriers such as transportation and time constraints while building mental wellness among our youth.
