Laurel Helping Hands Youth Services Bureau

Mission

To strengthen families and help youth thrive by equipping parents with the skills necessary to meet the developmental needs of children up to 18 years- so that youth can maximize their potential at home, in school and in the community.

History

Established in 2017, Laurel Helping Hands is a community-based, family-oriented counseling program dedicated to promoting responsible behavior and appropriate family management skills. Individuals and families may receive counseling services at scheduled times during the week. We also offer weekly group counseling services at local public schools.

Experience

Our counseling services are designed to support healthy behaviors and emotional growth and to improve family and peer relationships. We partner with each family to tailor a course of treatment that fits their particular needs and to create a positive change for their youth, adolescence, and family.
