Melissa Turrell Email & Phone Number

As a Family Counselor I work with delinquent youth and their families at a residential placement center. The goal of my job is to strengthen youth and family relationships, facilitate communication between all parties involved, and teach skills to help the youth become successful in the community. To complete my work goal, I collaborate with team members.

As a Residential Counselor I provided a structured environment for youths to live in and facilitated work activities, recreation activities, groups meetings, and social skill building activities. I encouraged youths to make positive choices and set realistic goals through individual counseling and behavior management. I kept daily records of the youths.
