Unfortunately some children do not gain benefit of services that can be provided at home and parents are left with no other choice. It is our responsibility as counselors to support the families in their choice as well as provide them with any information that may be helpful in making that decision Of the sites provided, various have a benefit that can serve the counselor, teachers, and parents the same. Having this information at hand could prove to help address more issues together rather than on individual basis. • http://www.troubledteensguide.com/. • Click HERE for virtual tour of website TAKING NOTES DOC.docx
