Many of today’s teens face issues of substance abuse, crime involvement, mental illness, teen pregnancy, abortion, violence, truancy, gang activity and suicide to name a few.
Unacceptable and anti-social behaviors of hurting or troubled teens impact all of us. Negative effects of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, violence and legal issues for example, can have a tremendous impact on families and the community.
An increase in crime, along with a decrease in the education of a teen, can burden the community as a whole. We as a society need to come together, share resources and reach out to help the troubled teen and family.
We all know teens that are hurting. Counseling referrals can come from many sources such as individuals, churches, schools and community organizations.
Illinois House of Hope can make a difference in a young life. Your current financial support will assist us to provide counselor training, counseling offices and retail space for the thrift store. Help us to make a difference in the life of a teen.
Illinois House of Hope values family unity, family involvement, and family restoration. Physically and emotionally healthy teens, soon to be adults, play a vital role in our society.
