At Sonoma County's only shelter specifically for homeless teens, intensive family counseling is the ticket to getting the kids safely back home again. And most of the time, it works.

In addition to the six beds available to shelter homeless and runaway teens at the Rev. Coffee House, the facility offers numerous other drop-in servcies for a wider age range, explains shelter manager Anita Rosales.
