About Us We help kids and their families make it through some of their family's most challenging times. Turning Point is a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families. We provide our kids and their families with the tools they need to overcome life's many obstacles and ultimately to become empowered, healthy and responsible members of their communities. We Turn Lives Around Our mission is to provide a high quality, structured and therapeutic environment with growth and change opportunities for everyone involved. Turning Point's therapeutic services run the gamut from individual and family counseling sessions to round-the-clock care in our residential facilities. We offer state approved education programs, Community Centered Services, Day Resource programs, behavioral health & substance abuse treatment, and Community Transition Programming.
Such a wide spectrum of care allows Turning Point to reach more youth and their families than ever before. While some children simply need a bit of direction before things take a turn for the worse, others require intensive therapy, while still others require residential treatment and medication management.
Who We Serve
Turning Point works with youth ranging in age from 4 to 23 and their families. Youth at Turning Point struggle with behavioral health and substance abuse issues, educational concerns, behavioral difficulties and legal issues. The majority of our youth have been neglected and/or abused in some way, have difficulty expressing anger, do not cooperate well with figures of authority, and generally rebel against expectation. During Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Turning Point served more than 500 youth.
