Parent participation by phone and quarterly attendance at our Sunday family dinner make this goal attainable. We also remain in contact with the family as their teen makes the transition home. While the contract period is a minimum of one year, it takes most teens 11-15 months before they are ready for reunification with their family. Each parent is required to name twelve individuals who will pray daily for their daughter. Commitment to the family goes beyond the time a teenager is at Gentle Spirit Ranch .
Parents are responsible for personal items for girls.
Home visits are the best time to provide these items. If buying clothes together is a challenge, you can deposit a clothing allowance and we will take her shopping to ensure she is dressed modestly. We take care of a lot of their extras but from time to time they like to go to the mall or get a soda, buy a gift for someone, etc. Click for a free reader.
