2025 Summer Program
We are excited to offer your child a chance to join the Stepping Stones - SCAMHC’s 2025 Summer Program. The program helps children with behavior and emotional needs learn important skills, such as: Coping, Social, and Basic Life Skills. The goal is to help your child manage conditions like depression, low self-esteem, anger management issues, hyperactivity, and focusing problems. These skills will help your child be successful at home, school, and in the community. Please return this enrollment application to your SCAMHC Therapist, School Counselor, by email to candace.penn@scamhc.org, or by fax (334) 335-5206.
