TBCC collaborates with many different organizations to address varied mental health needs in Boston. Over the years, we have developed a particular specialization in working with at-risk youth.
At-Risk Youth
A lack of adequate mental health care is one of the largest gaps in services for at-risk youth in the City of Boston. TBCC is proud to be playing a role in addressing this critical need during a time when our city's youth face increasing violence. We currently offer three programs at two venues:
Roxbury Community Re-Entry Center
The Roxbury Community Re-Entry Center (CRC) is a program of the state juvenile correctional system. For the past three years, the TBCC has provided individual and group clinical services for youth at the CRC.
CRC Individual Counseling
Our individual counseling program serves adolescents who are re-entering the community after a period of detention imposed by the juvenile court.

Empowerment Groups
As part of TEEP's summer and after school programs, we offer therapy and support groups for TEEP middle school students. In these groups, the students learn important life skills pertaining to self-esteem, decision-making, and building positive relationships. They also discuss critical issues, such as rising violence in the students' home neighborhoods. The groups help to empower the students to develop their voices in their relationships, communities, and world.
