In-School Support: 

As part of our community outreach, Lee Carlson Center offers an array of services to more than 1,250 "at-risk" students in the North Suburban School Districts.  We're currently in 20 schools K-12 in 5 different school districts. 

Services vary from school-to-school and include everything from providing drug & alcohol prevention services to anger management classes to working with youth who have severe emotional and behavioral issues that prevent them from functioning in a regular classroom environment.

Most referrals to the programs are made by teachers and parents.   Services are provided at no cost to families.
