The Heartlight Program: Creating an Environment of Personal Relationships

All components of the Heartlight program are designed to create an environment of personal relationships and also to provide involvement of the staff in the lives of the residents and their families.

Through an intricate weaving together of activities, counseling, teaching, personal relationships, and the involvement of parents in the process of working with a teen, Heartlight has created an "arena" that has proven successful in the lives of kids and their families.

About Heartlight

Heartlight was founded in 1989 as a non-profit Christian residential counseling opportunity dedicated to helping adolescents and their families work through difficult situations.  It is a 9-12 month program that helps the teens and family work through five Levels, bringing about a turnaround in the thinking and actions of the teenager and creating a closer bond and relationship with parents and family.

Heartlight strives to provide the very best care to families caught in crisis situations that require an adolescent's removal from the home. Heartlight is a co-ed, year-round program for 48 residents, supervised by over 40 staff on a beautiful 100-acre campus in Eastern Texas.  Our rates are lower than many other such programs because we actively seek donations through our Foundation to offset costs.

Heartlight is committed to the belief that an atmosphere of relationships creates an arena for change. Our approach is loving and non-threatening, building trust and relationships as well as several forms of counseling and 24/7 care. Parents and family are actively involved in the process and are counseled and trained right along with the teenager.
