The core GLAD House program is a comprehensive After School / Summer intervention for children ages 5-11. Graduates can continue in our GLAD Hands Club, a weekend follow-up for youth up to age 18.
For additional information regarding programs check out the GLAD House Fact Sheet.
Using evidence-based Best Practice curricula, our teachers, therapists, case managers and child care providers work with the children and their families to improve:
- Academic success
- Mental health
- Behavior
- Coping skills
- Life skills
- Family functioning

To help stop the cycle of substance abuse and its consequences, we also provide classes on:
- Substance abuse prevention
- HIV prevention
- Violence prevention

Enriching activities such as field trips and parties complement the program to model positive recreational experiences. Ongoing support is available to families after they complete the program.
“With my kids at GLAD House, I had time to focus on my recovery program. GLAD House helped my girls understand what I was going through; why I was behaving the way I was. It also helped their grades at school. Seven years later, I am still clean and sober and the girls are doing well.”
