Bath Area Hope for Youth

The Bath Area Hope for Youth’s Prevention counseling program is licensed by New York State to provide individual and group counseling services. We provide these counseling services through the schools at no cost to the client. By providing prevention counseling services in the schools, we are able to positively impact youth and their families in a way that would not be possible otherwise. Prevention Counseling allows us to intervene with “at risk” youths before they develop destructive behaviors in order to cope with life’s problems.

School and Community Prevention Counseling
Bath Hope’s counseling program is our most extensive intervention and prevention program. Once clients are assessed for program appropriateness, counseling may last anywhere from one month to one year depending on their particular needs. In some cases, clients may also be referred to another agency or clinician when a more intensive or different type of service is indicated. While most counseling services take place at the school site, we do provide counseling, assessment and referral services at our Bath Hope office, as needed. In either case, counseling takes place in a confidential, private setting and is provided to clients at no cost.
