Intensive Retreats
Intensive Retreats each year in rural Virginia and Maryland are provided for SBY youth, parents and guardians, and families. The intensive nature of the retreats allows SBY counselors to accomplish in one weekend the equivalent of several weeks of individual and group counseling. In addition to counseling, the retreats include role playing, discussions, workshops, and group exercises. Each retreat is specifically tailored to the participants, but often covers subjects such as self-care, peer pressure, parenting skills, communication, sexual health, substance use and abuse, and relationships.
