The troubled teens help directory is a one-stop resource guide for parents of troubled teens who may be struggling with behavioral problems, emotional problems, academic issues, or learning differences and are researching how to get help for their teen. We have reviewed hundreds of sites to include in the directory, including information from the Department of Education, National Institutes of Health, and related government institutions on such topics as special education, ADHD, learning disabilities, substance abuse, mental health. We have included links to therapy options such as behavioral modification, tutoring, residential treatment, boarding schools, and special education programs. If your teen needs help to get back on track with his or her behavior or school work, this guide will serve as a search directory that is specific to what you need. Teens Help Directory will always be a work-in-progress. As we find new websites that offer parenting tips, local counseling resources, treatment options, and scientific information on issues such as ADHD, childhood obesity, and other struggles your teen might be experiencing, we will add them here. If you know about a resource that has been helpful to you, please feel free to use the "suggest a site" feature at the foot of every page. We hope you find the Teen Help Directory a useful resource if you have a troubled teen and are looking for the right therapeutic or academic solutions for your child.
