Family Counseling Resources
Outside Counseling Resources
The important topics of social-emotional development and mental health are addressed at Donovan through our advisory program, and the counselor is available anytime during the school day if students need to talk with someone as well. However, there are situations where exploring outside resources may be necessary. The following list includes some recommended local counseling services in the Athens area that serve teens/adolescents (this list is not exhaustive). As availability for any counseling service may change throughout the year, it may be helpful to regularly check back over time.
