Stoughton Youth Commission
Serving the Stoughton community since 1975!
The Stoughton Youth Commission is a community human service center offering confidential and
professional counseling services without fee to Stoughton residents. Our board-licensed staff
provides clinical counseling to individuals and their families in a supportive, confidential
environment. We also facilitate a number of support groups for youths and adults covering a variety
of topics: anger management, community service, substance abuse, stress, parenting, relationships,
and more. We accept referrals from and maintain close relationships with local schools,
DARE/juvenile officers, juvenile probation officers, and the Department of Social Services in order to
provide the most comprehensive care possible. As needed, we refer to other agencies with broader
ranges of services to provide the best care for you and your family.
