WHERE TO GO FOR HELP

 

 

One place to start is to speak with your child's Guidance Counselor, the Crisis Counselor, Dr. Rockwood, or the Student Assistance Counselor, Ms. Dana Shereshewsky at West Morris Central. Another good place to begin a search for help and special counseling is through your local church and hospital. Many churches frequently have self help group meetings. All local hospitals can help direct you to public and private alcohol and drug treatment programs. Finally, you can go on-line using the Internet to find extensive reading materials.
