Here at the STAR Program, we pride ourselves in our dedication to our clients and our community. We are a close-knit group who has bonded over our common desire to give to our community any way we can. In order to encompass the varied needs of our community, our agency's counselors have diverse educational backgrounds, along with an array of experience in the areas of youth and family work. Our program's diversity among our counselors allows us to draw from each person's unique perspective in order to better serve all of our clients. Our program also has the flexibility of providing counseling services without the restrictions of time or place. Whether we are seeing youth in their school, home, or elsewhere, neither cost nor transportation is a barrier that STAR clients ever have to face.
The STAR Program was developed to fill the gap in services to youth who are runaways,
truants, at-risk of running away, or in at-risk situations and do not meet the criteria for
child protective services or services of juvenile probation programs. The STAR Program provides
counseling and outreach services to at-risk youth ages 0 to 17 and their families. STAR
counselors provide short-term individual and family counseling, as well as skills-based groups.
To initiate services with the STAR Program, a call can be made to 979-260-7336 or 1-800-865-9921,
or a referral can be faxed to 979-260-7567. The appropriate counselor will then make a return
call in order to schedule an intake or registration session. Services are provided in Brazos,
Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Washington counties. Twenty-four hour crisis
intervention is also available in all seven counties.
