For parents wondering where to find a place to help your son, you are not alone! Many teens and their families are struggling with similar problems.
The heart of the staff at the Eagle Springs Boy’s Center is to facilitate healing. Our staff are committed to helping young men find a safe haven. Here, anger transforms into peace, depression into joy, and disorderly behavior into self-control. We desire to see young men transform and to know their purpose in life.
InfoRMATION
The program includes education, mentoring, guidance, life and social skills, and spiritual direction. A holistic approach is offered. Certified counseling is also given individually and in groups.
To allow the time needed to gain practical skills to live a meaningful, addictive-free life and to grow emotionally and spiritually, the program is 12-18 months in length. This also helps facilitate the healing and growth needed without the stressors that prompted the addictive lifestyle.
