COUNSELING & MENTORING
APCC's Counseling, Mentoring and Family Support Services program provides counseling to individuals between the ages of 10 - 24 years of age who may be suffering from depression, anxiety, bullying, grief, trauma and more. Our team of licensed therapists provide one-on-one counseling sessions with clients at our Albany Park facility as well as on-site sessions with students attending our CPS partner schools. Our Community Based counseling services are free of charge and offered in English and Spanish.
COMMUNITY BASED COUNSELING
Our Community Based counseling program serves children and adolescents between the ages of 10-24 who face difficulty managing emotions, issues related to self-esteem, challenges related to feelings of anger, poor social skills, exposure to trauma, and lack of family support. We provided sessions once a week at our Albany Park location. Referrals to additional supportive services are provided as necessary throughout treatment to meet the needs of each client. This is a free service provided at no cost.
Due to COVID-19 counseling sessions are being offered virtually and in-person.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS
In 2018 APCC piloted our organizations first School-Based Mentorship program at Alessandro Volta Elementary. This program paired 15 male youths with male mentors from the Albany Park neighborhood. Youth participated in a combination of group meetings, individual counseling sessions and afterschool.
This partnership continues as we are currently working with leadership and staff at Volta to build and implement a virtual youth mentorship program for students.
