Drop In Counseling
Through telephone and walk-ins, shelter staff provide emergency individual and family counseling to assist youth and parents to deal positively with family crisis. The Evergreen Shelter also serves as a resource to local law enforcement. Law enforcement will utilize the Shelter as a place to bring youth who have been picked up for curfew violations or status offenses, and whose parents are unable to pick them up or find transportation home. A maximum drop-in stay is 6 hours. Youth who are at the shelter as a drop-in will receive the same care and counseling as youth who are staying at the shelter.
Family Counseling
Youth do not have to stay at the shelter to receive individual or family counseling. Parents and family members struggling with raising young adolescents and teenagers can also access the family counseling offered through the shelter. Counselors are available on a drop-in or scheduled appointment basis for crisis intervention, follow-up and on-going support services. If you lack transportation or can't get to the shelter, please let us know. Services are free of charge. Call 218-751-4332.
