HEART Program

Healing and Empowering Adolescents Recovering from Trauma

The H.E.A.R.T. program is specialized for youth, ages 10 to 18, in Youthville's care who have a history of program behavior and multiple treatment/or placements. The program allows youth to begin the process of healing from the trauma they may have experienced in their lives. It is designed to educate, assist and empower the children, their reintegrative resources, as well as the foster families who care for these children.
