Live Strong House is a residential support center for adolescent & young adult men. We work with adolescent boys 15-18 yo & young adult men 18-24 yo. We specialize in students who struggle with information processing issues, substance use, PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, & exec functioning. Many students struggle in the traditional school environment & may be heavily influenced by negative peer groups.
Founded with 4 Key Pillars
1. Creating a true relational model where genuine connections are established.
2. Creating a detailed plan for each student that is individualized to their personal needs & interest.
3. Safely, with structure & support immerse each student into the community & provide them an opportunity to live in a normalized setting.
4. Create a positive peer culture & contagion effect by having our students live with a life coach & only a few roommates.
We spend a SIGNIFICANT amount of time/effort to provide a safe AND relational environment where students’ academic, clinical, life skills training, & extracurricular services. Therefore, our services are truly individualized and housing & community integration are different too.
Live Strong is highly individualized from the intentionally designed housing model – to the academics & community. *** VISIT THE WEBSITE OR CALL US ***
