We provide a Christian family environment that is loving yet firm, working with the child and parents to restore the family through mutual respect and understanding. We have obtained a beautiful campus nestled in the midst of rolling hills surrounded by majestic oak trees. It is the perfect setting for healing and renewal, free from the distractions of city life. J.Y.A. was established in 1993. It was designed to restore relationships between parent and child.
Parent training is a big part of the program.
Parent visits are an important component. Involvement by the parent or legal guardian is a must to be accepted to the program. Our program is based on Christian principals through loving relationships that the staff will develop with each student. Firm love, accountability along with a consistent example by the staff encourages the teens in the right direction. As in life, it is important for the students to understand cause and effect for one's behavior.
