In January 2005, Evangel House announced the
opening of its new Transition Study Center for Young Women.
The program is designed for older female teens ages 18-22.
Evangel House is a non-denominational Christian program designed
for those who want Christian values integrated into their
daughter's treatment, recovery and character development.
Evangel House will celebrate its 10th anniversary this August,
but until now has only served girls ages 12-17 at its Christian
Academy.
The goal of the new Transition Study Center
is similar to that of services offered to younger teen residents;
providing therapy by licensed professionals, medication management
services, and holistic treatment planning while emphasizing
a lifestyle based on Christian values. However, this new program
integrates career coaching, independent living skills and
supervised college & career training.
The structure of the Evangel House Transition
Study Center provides graduates of other emotional growth
schools and programs the opportunity to attend college, vocational
training, or job training in a therapeutic environment. It
also provides those with no prior residential placement the
opportunity to prepare for adulthood through a two phase structure.
Phase One is a five to seven month individualized
course designed to teach personal responsibility in areas
of managing Time, Talent, Money, and Relationships™. Phase
One residents participate in academic completion, equestrian
activities, ranch chores, weekly individual and group therapy,
a Christian life skills curriculum and local church involvement.
There is a high level of family involvement as well, and family
therapy sessions are a regular part of the program.
Phase Two is a five to seven month individualized
course designed to coach residents in the application of their
acquired skills in their daily lives. These residents attend
classes at the local university, community college or vocational
college. This phase fosters a healthy independence, while
holding high standards of accountability and support.
The Evangel House Transition Study Center houses
a maximum of seven in phase one and seven in phase two. The
program is currently taking applications for enrollment.
