OUR MISSION:
The mission of Stone and Associates is to provide practical counseling to youth and families. We also consult with institutions and community parthers to create community wellness, awareness, and understanding by searching for solutions that are culturally lrrelevant to the needs of our clients and the larger community.
Stone and Associates has been in the community since 2002 serving clients and agencies on local, national, and international levels. We focus on helping government, youth, communities, and nonprofit organizations change negative behaviors that affect our communities. We approach public safety and education through culturally relevant techniques, empowering youth with supporting tools.
Experience is the best teacher for a young person on the path to self-destruction, poor school attendance, and drug abuse, which often ends in what we call the “Three D’s” – Death, Dope, and Destruction. With careful and focused intervention we get our clients back into school and provide them with tools to repair broken relationships.
• Education is key, and deep listening to clients is vital.
• Spiritual awareness is a component of growth.
• Practice makes better, not perfect.
• Validation of the client’s perspective is mandatory for establishing trust.
• A successful life requires gaining concrete tools for making changes.
