We have noticed that our most successful students are those who take advantage of our numerous counseling opportunities. 

Tuesday Night Family Program
TEAM - Ropes & Experiential  - 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the RAC Campus

This program allows parents/guardians and their child to learn new communication methods to promote appropriate behavior by young people in school and at home.  Students may earn credit for 25 points and have their days shortened by 5 days (only for students on 20 or 30 day placements).  To receive credit the student and a parent/guardian must attend two (2) Tuesday night classes in their entirety and the student must be in compliance with all other RAC requirements.  Please be on time.  Late arrivals will not be admitted.  Students must be in uniform during these meetings.  Please do not bring young children to the meetings.

Counseling Opportunities (provided during regular school hours)

Individual Counseling
The RAC counselor, a licensed professional counselor (LPC), will work with each student to assess their individual needs for referral to counseling services.  Referral to community-based counseling services will be provided to parents upon request or as needed.

Tuesday Night Follow-Up
Group counseling conducted by the RAC counselor with students who have participated in the Tuesday Night Family Program to reinforce what they learned.

Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselors (LCDC) will provide the following opportunities (with parental consent) to students:
