Saving Teens June Appeal For Funding

Dear Friends;

Remember your teenage years? The highs, the lows, the joy and the angst? Imagine those emotions but add to them the fear and uncertainty of mental health issues or addiction. This is the world for at-risk youth and their families. Imagine being the parents of a teen who needs help, but you lack the resources to access the care that's so desperately needed.

I feel optimistic about my relationship with my son for the first time in years. And had we not been helped by SavingTeens, we would not be here today… I look forward as the next transition happens and for my son to be the happy, loving kid he used to be…-SavingTeens Mom

Saving Teens in Crisis Collaborative is a 501c3 charity that was formed ten years ago to help these families. Founded by parents of struggling children, SavingTeens endeavors to assist families in negotiating the confusing world of therapeutic programs and schools. Our unique partnership with educational consultants, programs and schools, and other caring professionals, helps families in crisis overcome the financial barriers that often get in the way of appropriate treatment.

Therapeutic wilderness programs and schools have proven results in saving these young people and their families. Yet, these programs can be inaccessible for families who are most in need. A qualified therapeutic boarding school can cost more than $7,000/month and the most clinically sophisticated programs can surpass $10,000/month.

With the often prohibitive cost of these programs and very little help available from insurance or public entities, it becomes increasingly hard for SavingTeens to fund a family through their treatment journey. Our contribution to these families, even with scholarships and pro bono support, can amount to more than $100,000. And, with a commitment between 12 and 18 months, SavingTeens is currently limited to helping merely four to six families per year. There are so many more deserving families.

Averaging thirty initial applications per month, we are consistently faced with difficult decisions. Your generous donation to SavingTeens will allow us to select more struggling teens and families for this life-changing support.
