Frequently, clients need to speak with a counselor during weekend hours however very often availability of counselors during those times is extremely unlikely because many service providers for at-risk youths do not have weekend staffing due to budgetary constraints. Where professional support is not available to those experiencing periods of crisis and/or distress, the A.T.L.A.S. TSMS weekend support system can play a vital role in minimizing the potential for a crisis or can be a safety valve for a client who needs minor support relative to a matter of concern. With A.T.L.A.S., not only can clients text from anywhere; TSMS counseling is convenient and confidential. Clients enrolled in A.T.L.A.S. weekend support can receive TSMS counseling from qualified practitioners 7 days a week. Services are provided anonymously and are cost effective and highly efficacious.All incoming TSMS and the responses from clinicians are recorded and stored for viewing by authorized staff members of referring agencies, schools, courts, or other legally deployed entities.
