Future 4 Teens

Future 4 Teens (F4T) is changing-the-game   of mental health by serving youth and young adults and training the next generation of culturally competent mental health providers. 

Our core purpose is to heal the broken-hearted by providing fun and innovative therapeutic supports to youth. Sure! We offer "traditional" talk therapy, in an office, with a therapist for teens and families.

BUT, The magic of F4T is in our specialized services. We integrate therapeutic interventions into fun social and academic events. 

What you may see on the surface is just a good time but what we are providing is truly a full time. An experience that is jam packed with 1) social interaction and fun, 2) skill and knowledge development, AND 3) therapeutic engagement. 

We...

* carefully expose youth to experiences outside of their comfort zone

* provide therapeutic interventions in social settings to promote collective community healing, health, and wellness

*provide support that is culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate 

*create an environment of care that help youth flourish 

We need your support to continue serving youth and families. We have served over 1500 youth with very little funding. Imagine what we can do with increased dollars and the support of more community partners!? We invite you to join us...
