With a focus on the whole person, CHV clinicians foster mental health every step of the way through weekly programs and workshops for all teens along with small group and individual therapy sessions.

Camp Harbor View’s clinical support is unique. Here’s why:

  • 100% free of charge. No insurance. No fee for services.
  • No time limits or diagnostic requirements.
  • Youth-driven conversations in flexible settings to best meet the needs of teens.

It is critical that we continue to ensure that young people have access to mental health supports, and we are proud that we offer these services at Camp Harbor View.

Building resilient young people

Working with teens throughout the year, the Leadership Academy structure allows for consistent and continuous support. Social emotional learning (SEL) is woven into the curriculum to ensure all participants develop essential skills to interact with others, manage emotions and behaviors, and grow into confident, productive, and empathetic individuals.

Taking an individualized approach

The CHV Wellness and Clinical team uses a multi-tiered system of support to meet young leaders’ mental health needs and social emotional development with varied and individualized interventions. Engaging in a strength-based approach, clinicians work directly with teens to identify and set goals, build trust, and reach milestones.
