Mission Statement

Transformational Living helping boys find purpose, meaning and direction for their lives.

The Carpenter Shed is a transitional program for young men aged 16 to 20 experiencing mental health and substance use challenges and requiring guidance, support, and mentorship to find their place in the world. Our program is community-based and highly structured, and we aim to help these young men discover their purpose, meaning, and direction in life. Our ultimate goal is to transform them into responsible and purpose-driven men.

"The Passage" is a multi-day off-site therapeutic rite of passage between phases and involving clinical and experiential staff, therapeutic assignments, challenge rituals, and narrative therapy. It's a standout feature that would catch a referring professional's eye.

At the Carpenter Shed, residents earn greater trust, freedom, and opportunity as they grow in self-awareness. And families participate in their son's process in parallel.

☎️ Call Heather in admissions (318-595-3305) for information about the process and verify your insurance.
