Last Saturday, Link House was pleased to present Wellness Delivered training at Parent University for Triton Regional High School. Pictured here is Link House Trainer Michelle B Howden, MMHS, LMHC, as well as Jennifer Roketenetz, Salisbury Parks Recreation, and Youth Empowerment; and Krystle Brown, Director of Development, Link House, Inc.

Link House's School Based Clinician Jack Cristofani, LMHC, finds success working with Amesbury students on-site. Meeting with Jack is part of their school day and doesn't require parents and caregivers to bring students to the Link House offices, disrupting work schedules and after-school activities. It means the students are seen regularly, providing a more significant opportunity for continuous support and transformation. When asked about his work, Jack explains that the emphasis is on empowering students to determine what they want and need and how to get it, balancing that with encouraging them to ask for and accept help.
