Hope Harbor is not a quick fix or crisis intervention. It is a commitment for the entire family. Prayerfully consider program requirements and expectations before submitting application materials for the Hope Harbor program.
Hope Harbor is a private, voluntary placement program sought by the teen or parent. Referrals by the legal system, probation, social services or other facilities may be considered if family will honor participation requirements.
