Stand By Me - Frequently Asked Questions

"Our Mission is to provide teenagers and their parents with the opportunity and skills for improvement of understanding and communication, thereby building or enhancing trust and self-esteem.  In doing so, we will be helping parents and teenagers deal more effectively with the issues and concerns faced by today's families.  We believe that we accomplish this mission by offering a wide variety of interactive workshops administered by leading New England psychologists, educators and other professionals."
