COUNSELING AVAILABLE

Schools around the country are seeing more mental health related challenges in students. Our teens need our support at this critical time. Parents, teachers, and school counselors need to work together to help kids who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues stemming from underlying mental health conditions.

Through a partnership with ALA, Christian Family Solutions (CFS) has a counselor on site to help students who may be exhibiting symptoms of anxiety, depression, attention deficit, impulse control, or a variety of other mental health and behavioral issues. CFS combines the unconditional love of Jesus with effective counseling strategies. Students who have accessed counseling services in the past have been able to become more focused, resilient, and ready to learn. Most of all, they are reassured that they are dearly loved children of God, no matter what their challenges or circumstances.

The services of Christian Family Solutions are clinical mental health services. Starting next Wednesday, we are going to be conducting ten-minute informal check-ins with the freshmen and other students who are new to ALA this year (including international students). These check-ins will occur during your teen’s study hall and begin on September 13. If you have any questions or concerns please contact ALA’s referring agent, Mr. Ben Priebe.

We love the teens of Arizona Lutheran Academy (ALA). We are blessed by this partnership, and by the relationships we build with the teens we serve. We pray that we can be a supportive resource to them and to you as well.


Warm regards,
