Mission: Todays teenagers are gripped by an alarming degree of alcohol abuse, self-concept and self-worth issues, scholastic conflicts, and delinquency. This very short list only just begins to identify the numerous issues which overwhelm our teens. Unfortunately, teens are seldom equipped with the proper emotional tools to deal with these issues. Nor do they receive the attention and guidance which would allow for proper resolution of the issue. Their cries for help often manifest themselves in fits of frustration, agitation, or rage. These emotionally volatile teens act out in negative ways, thus becoming an offender to society. The TeenCare program is designed to assist these young people experiencing a wide variety of problems. Our purpose is to interrupt these unacceptable behavior patterns and rehabilitate these "at risk" teenagers. TeenCare is a nonprofit organization focused on keeping "at risk" teenagers from incarceration at penal institutions.
