JCFS Chicago – Response for Teens

Response for Teens (Response), part of JCFS Chicago’s family of services, aims to support young people, ages 9-25, and their families, empowering them to make healthy choices in all areas of their lives. With the support of HPCF funding and through a partnership with Highland Park High School, students receive individual, crisis, and group counseling and support from a JCFS clinician on-site at the Drop-In Center at the high school to help them navigate issues such as academic and social difficulties; questions about identity; depression and anxiety; eating disorders; healthy relationships; divorce in their families; and other challenging situations.
