PRIME FOR LIFE
Our Prime For Life anti-vaping classes provide adolescents with structured, evidence-based education about the risks of vaping and the development of substance use disorders. These are not therapy groups. They are interactive educational classes designed to equip teens with the knowledge they need to make healthier choices.
JRNY Counseling provides free Prime for Life/Anti-Vaping classes for adolescents attending Carmel Clay Schools, Hamilton Southeastern (Fishers) Schools, and Westfield Washington Schools.
Class Times: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
JRNY PLUS Program
This group has been made possible by funding from the Opioid Settlement City Grant funding to help provide a service to youth that has not previously been available.
This program is offered at different high schools for teens to increase awareness of substance use issues. Confidential and judgment-free space to process experiences around:
- How Does Addiction Develop? How Am I at Risk?
- Triggers, Cravings, and Coping Skills
- Emotional Regulation and Recovery Self Talk
- Relapse Prevention
Times and dates vary depending on the school. Participants are referred by school administration to attend the class.

Counseling & Therapy Services
No matter where you are in your journey, JRNY offers counseling and therapy services tailored to meet your needs. We take a flexible, eclectic approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based methods to find what works best for you.
Individual Counseling
A one-on-one space to explore what you’re going through, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools to support your mental health. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, individual counseling gives you dedicated time and support to focus on you.
Couples Therapy
Relationships take work, and sometimes you need a neutral, skilled guide to help you move through conflict, rebuild connection, or navigate a difficult transition together. Our therapists work with couples at all stages, whether you’re looking to strengthen what you have or find a healthier path forward.
Family Therapy
Family dynamics are complex, and when one person is struggling, the whole family often feels it. Family therapy brings everyone to the table to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a proven, structured approach that helps you process painful memories and reduce their emotional weight. If you’re carrying trauma or anxiety, our trained therapists will guide you through each step so you can heal and move forward with confidence.
Who This Program May Help
Our teen vaping education and Prime For Life classes are a strong fit for adolescents in a range of situations.
Teens caught vaping at school or at home. Many adolescents attend this anti-vaping class as a direct response to being found vaping on school grounds or by a parent. It provides a structured environment for learning without the stigma of a clinical setting.
Young people referred through the school system. Our classes are offered in a variety of school settings as well as at our counseling center in Carmel, making them accessible and familiar for most teens.
Adolescents who could benefit from early substance abuse education. When teens understand how substance use disorders develop, they are better equipped to recognize warning signs in themselves and make more informed decisions going forward.
Families seeking proactive support. Parents who are concerned about their teen’s behavior (even before a formal incident) can reach out to explore whether this program is the right fit.
