As parents, we all have hopes and dreams for our children....

We want to see them grow up, mature, develop their talents and potential and become happy, responsible adults. So when they encounter problems along the way—problems we can’t solve for them—we suffer too.

If you are reading this, chances are you’re looking for help for a troubled teenager struggling with behavioral and emotional difficulties, including academic underachievement, substance abuse, depression, eating disorders, promiscuity, ADHD, ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), compulsive use of computers, cutting or other self-destructive behavior.

We applaud you for taking the big first step: recognizing that a problem exists and that your home environment may not be the best place to solve it.

We know this is a difficult time, and that you have an important decision to make. We hope this site provides the information you need to make it.

The Family Foundation School has guided thousands of troubled teens toward responsible adulthood with character education that includes the 12-Step program of recovery and its spiritual principles, rigorous academics including special academic support where needed, psychological counseling, and a strong and experienced faculty and staff. We have healed families and restored the hopes and dreams of countless parents. We can restore yours, too.

The Family Foundation School: A program since 1977, a school since 1987.
