For Parents
GLAD House is a safe, secure and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow. We combine individualized therapy and prevention education with a place where kids can thrive. We provide each child with a hot meal along with transportation to and from GLAD House each day they come.
Focus on Education: Your child will receive daily homework assistance with designated time set aside where staff and volunteers are available to help. We believe education is the foundation for a successful life.
Prevention Techniques: In addition to general educational assistance, your child will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to say no to drugs and alcohol. They learn techniques for avoiding situations and people who may disrupt their commitment to living drug free.
Recreation: Children learn to channel their energy into positive recreational activities such as sports or the arts. During the warmer months children have access to a playground and open field for playing sports. In the winter we use an indoor gym.
Staff and volunteers offer GLAD House kids long-term, life-changing treatment and stable relationships that extend from kindergarten through adulthood. Our comprehensive approach for helping high-risk youth makes GLAD House a unique and proven program.
