Teen & Young Adult Resource Center
In 2022, we opened the Teen & Young Adult Resource Center. We are located inside St. Mark United Methodist Church. The Resource Center provides space for individual and group meetings. We also offer positive social activities for teens 12-17 understanding safe, sober and positive socialization increases well-being and connection. Please visit the Resource Center Page for all the details.
Launch Pads
Launch Pads is a structured transitional housing program located in Johnson County, Texas, designed to help individuals build stability and independence. Participants commit to paying monthly rent and setting both personal and financial goals as part of their journey toward self-sufficiency. An On-Site Director conducts weekly check-ins to ensure accountability and progress, while monthly tenant-hosted dinners foster peer support and community building. The program spans 18 months to two years, allowing residents to move at their own pace while preparing for independent living upon graduation.
Strengthening Families
SFP is effective because it was specifically crafted to increase Protective Factors and reduce the Risk Factors that lead to both substance abuse and youth depression.
SFP teaches–and has parents and youth practice–skills involved in bonding (creating warm, loving relationships), setting clear, firm boundaries (rules against antisocial behavior, including drug and alcohol use), and monitoring their children’s emotional well-being and activities to see that they always stay in an alcohol and drug-free social environment.
Individual Supports
This is primarily our work with young people aged 17-23. The needs of this age group are often very specific and sometimes urgent. We do not have a set curriculum– but work together to set goals and develop an action plan to turn dreams to reality. Examples of this work include getting a driver’s license, job search, job retention, money management, filing taxes, and more.
