Youth Clinical Initial Consultation
A supportive first step for youth and families—private, personalized, and focused on real growth.
Service Description
Our Youth Clinical Initial Consultation is a free, 30-minute phone session created to support all youth and caregivers—regardless of background or experience. This warm, welcoming consultation focuses on understanding your child’s strengths, needs, and goals while providing a helpful starting point for future care. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or continuing services, this meeting offers clear guidance with no cost or pressure. We believe every youth deserves personalized, affirming care, and every caregiver deserves clarity. This session is about connection and understanding—not just answering forms. Our goal is to make mental health care accessible, respectful, and supportive to anyone in need. During this free consultation, caregivers and youth will: ✅ Discuss current strengths and challenges. ✅ Explore goals for care like wellness, communication, or coping skills. ✅ Ask questions about our services and approach. ✅ Receive custom next steps and helpful resources. After the consultation, youth are paired with a licensed social worker for a full clinical intake session. This ensures a smooth transition into services with a caring provider who matches your family’s needs. What to Expect: Telephonic, secure, and private 30-minute session. Post-session summary with personalized insights. Flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. No pressure, no obligation—just compassionate support to help you get started. Our mission is simple: help every youth and caregiver feel supported, informed, and empowered to take the next right step in care. Start with a free consultation—feel seen, valued, and hopeful about what’s next.

Welcome to Grounded Stars! Participant Group Rules — Please Read Carefully There are no refunds. Please reach out if you need to reschedule your missed class. We're happy to help. Our group spaces are designed to be safe, supportive, and protected spaces for youth and young adults. To keep it that way, everyone must follow these important rules while participating in any class, workshop, or group session. Camera Rules Cameras must stay ON during the entire session so we can protect the group and make sure everyone is really who they say they are. If you need to step away, you must tell the facilitator in chat or on camera before leaving. You can only be away for up to 10 minutes. If your camera is off and you ignore two reminders from the facilitator, you will be removed from the session for safety reasons. Respect and Behavior Rules Always show respect to other participants and facilitators. No bullying, harassment, or disrespectful language. No foul language, slurs, or hateful speech — this is a safe zone for everyone. Be open-minded and supportive of others, no matter their background or life experiences. Privacy and Safety Rules No sharing your contact information (phone numbers, social media, email, addresses) in the group or after the group. Do not ask for or pressure anyone else to share their personal information. You must be alone on camera, with no friends or family joining your screen unless it’s a family program. They can sit beside you. You must join from a quiet, safe space with no background distractions like loud TV, phone calls, or music. Dress Code You must be FULLY dressed in public-appropriate clothing during all sessions. Time and Attendance Be on time! The session will start on time, and anyone joining late may not be allowed in.
