Rock Solid Refuge

Help rescue even more youths and families in crisis

AboutThe pandemic has made a bad problem worse. More teens are falling into addiction and behavioural issues than ever before. Parents feel hopeless as their child dominates the home with dysfunction. Households and being torn apart and parents are at a loss for how to help their sons.

Over the past twelve months there has been a noticeable increase in the number of parents and teens contacting Rock Solid for the support and resources that we offer. Some of the toughest conversations are telling desperate people “I’m sorry, but we do not have any space available for the next three months.”

For some of these families, three months could be more stress than their family is able to endure. For some of these teens, three months could be the difference between life and death.

There is hope

We are in the process of increasing our student capacity by an additional four beds by the end of January 2021. This is four more students whose lives are being impacted. Four more families being restored and healed.

The original house on site is being prepared to have students live in it for the first time since 2011, when we first moved into the larger facility. Students who have earned trust with the staff through growth and a willingness to be led through influence will move into this transition home, freeing up four beds in the main facility for more students.

Increasing the student population in a manner that is effective, sustainable, and safe is something we believe God has been leading us to for some time. This transition home is a bridge between Rock Solid Refuge and the home, blending the structure of the program with the atmosphere of family life. We are excited for this step towards more natural reintegration into home life and are eager for you to join us!

In order to bring an additional four students into the program we need funds to complete a few projects in the transition house as well as ongoing support to hire an additional youth care worker and teacher.

Your generous gift will ensure that these additional expenses can be met and more lives will be impacted and restored.
