For girls, Teen Challenge is a holistic therapeutic program – meaning that we are concerned with the body, mind, and spirit of those who come to us for help. We endeavor to help teens become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.
About Teen Challenge
For nearly 60 years, this Christian program for troubled teens has helped hundreds of boys and girls get back on the right track in life, and learn that they have a higher purpose and calling on this Earth. We surround our students all day long with an environment designed to help facilitate life change through the witness and guidance of our staff and counselors.
For teens who need counsel, our therapy is offered both individually and in group meetings and through unique therapeutic programs such as Equine Therapy. Students in the Teen Challenge boarding schools are challenged daily in their relationships and respect for others as they interact with school and counseling staff and their peers. It is an environment that balances discipline with personal responsibility to create a positive peer culture.
Our goal is to help students make positive decisions, not based on mandatory compliance, but rather being the result of a genuine change of heart. Community service, special projects, outings and mission trips also help our students change their focus from self to serving others.
