The Center provides counseling for those dealing with the difficult issues
of chemical dependency, compulsive behaviors, shoplifting, and problematic
gambling. As an adjunct to therapy, drug screening is provided on the premises.
DRUG SCREENING ON PREMISES
Parents may bring their children to The Center for drug screening when substance
abuse is suspected. The test may be a “one time only” occurence or may be
ongoing. If the results show that drugs are indeed in the system, then the parents
are able to intervene and receive help for their child. If the results do not indicate
drugs, then trust may be validated and the relationship strengthened.
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY DIVISION
The Center works with area businesses to provide services for their Employee
Assistance Programs. The program is designed to offer confidential assistance to
employees, improving their health, enriching their personal and family relationships,
and enhancing on-the-job productivity and satisfaction. Our licensed professional
counselors are also available for debriefing groups after traumatic incidents in the
workplace.
SOAR LIKE A KITE
This is a splendid series of classes available to the youth in our community. Building
positive self-esteem is the primary focus of this group. It is crucial to help children
learn how to soar like a kite! And the kite is indeed the symbol of this group!
KATRINA RELIEF
The Center for Families is able to offer counseling at no charge to anyone who was
affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Not only are we assisting those who were
relocated by the storms, we are also focusing on the "first responders" who sacrificially
helped during the entire process. The counseling is made possible through generous
contributions from United Way, Community Foundation of Shreveport/Bossier,
The Frost Foundation, The Atkins Foundation, & Larimer Community Foundation.
