Young Lives, Transformed
Picture yourself at the grocery store, asking for an item from the butcher. A business woman stands next to you and waits patiently to place her order. A police officer whistles as he walks by with an armful of snacks.
All the people you just envisioned are actual former residents of ECH’s Residential Treatment Program. They’re examples of the success ECH has helping youth overcome challenges to grow up and have full, productive lives.
Youth come to live on our campus after years of wrestling with significant abuse or trauma. Here, they’re connected with a team of professionals who wrap them in care and create a customized plan for meeting their individual needs. They’re able to heal in a safe and structured therapeutic environment, where they get the tools they need to be successful once they return to their homes or communities when their treatment is complete.
We work with them develop skills that will help them be successful for the rest of their lives. Most importantly, we provide hope.
