ECCO provides individual, group and family therapy for youth ages 13-18 who have issues with substance use and abuse. ECCO increases youths’ capacity to identify and manage the signs of risk that lead to substance use, and teaches them the skills that will prevent further use. Clients are referred by Pima County Juvenile Courts, parents, schools and other local agencies.

Treatment is customized based on the presenting problems, parental concerns and issues identified at intake. Experienced clinicians ensure that youth get the most comprehensive care possible.

The program includes weekly group therapy, individual and family therapy. ECCO groups – which are free – meet Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at JFCS. Individual sessions are by appointment.

For additional information on the ECCO program, email or call Program Manager Kristina Richer, M.C., at 520-795-0300, ext. 2270.

Project Safe Place (PSP)
Abuse of children and youth in the form of sexual crimes, violence and other traumatic events is a serious problem in our society, and here in our community. Child sexual abuse and trauma happens to children in every kind of family, neighborhood, and community.
Fortunately, with the help of Project Safe Place (PSP), children can recover completely and live normal, happy lives.

PSP counseling services are available to children as young as 3 up to young adults age 18.

Through age-appropriate supportive counseling, PSP clients begin to develop positive coping skills, the ability to trust, and to feel safe — sometimes for the first time in their lives.

For additional information on Project Safe Place, please email the Program Manager or call 520-795-0300, Ext. 2222.
