The Therapeutic Home Program pairs local volunteers with youth who have strayed from productive paths – and who need help resetting their lives as a result of behavioral or other issues.
Eric Worley, Therapeutic Home Recruiter and Trainer at Summit Pointe talks about the ultimate goals to help qualifying youth while keeping them in their home communities and school districts. Listen to the details – including how local volunteers can be trained to assist in the effort.
