Find your place…

Our program takes place in three elegantly appointed houses in urban Salt Lake City, giving girls an intimate sense of home that help them feel safe, valued, and at ease. As well as access to the cultural resources and opportunities of a large city. With only 12 – 16 girls per house, deep friendships develop quickly and each girl finds her own unique voice.

Find your passion…

We are committed to helping girls discover a passion—with a robust program of art therapy, accredited academics, life-skills instruction, and therapeutic recreation. This work can be difficult, particularly for girls who have struggled with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, but discovering “what makes me tick” is the foundation of effective treatment.
