Specialized recovery programs and mental health support
New Life House incorporates a wide range of effective programs to help you mend family relationships, work through mental health struggles, achieve educational or vocational goals, and promote long-term recovery.
Relationship and life skills development
Life skills are not inherent, so learning about how to navigate life and relationships will help you in the long run. Understanding financial planning and management is one of the most vital skills you can learn. Additionally, making sure we can support you with completing education, college preparation, vocational school placement, and even job placement can set you up for success.
New Life House emphasizes relationships and social development. This means learning how to form healthy relationships, comprehensive sex education, consent and respect training, and conflict resolution techniques. With these skills, you can begin to build healthy friendships and social networks.
Building healthy activities and interests
Engaging in recreational programs can teach young men how to incorporate healthy hobbies with their peers into their daily lives. At New Life House, we like to have structured social gaming like Magic The Gathering events, beach outings, skateboarding or bike riding, hiking, team sports, and gym routines with our other housemates.
Success benchmarks for parents and residents
We focus on measurable progress like educational achievements, employment milestones, financial independence markers, and reduction in compulsive behaviors. Even noting mental health symptom reduction and social connection development is highlighted. All progress matters, and we are here to support you in celebrating it.
Family and loved ones integration
At New Life House, we make sure to integrate family and loved ones into your healing journey. By offering structured family therapy sessions, you can address any familial conflict. Our parent education and support groups can help your parents better understand what you are going through and how to manage their support.
While working alongside each other, you will develop communication skills and learn about setting boundaries with each other. During this time, you’ll gradually reintegrate into family dynamics, so you are all set up for success in the future.
Healing and self-sufficiency is one call away
Our unique approach to supporting young men
Supportive housing is life-saving for many. New Life House does this by working to be sure young men are seen, heard, and have the proper skills for life.
- To connect with the young men in the program, we have staff who have lived recovery experience, so they can relate.
- There are also relatable mentors who understand male-specific challenges.
- We also have a non-judgmental approach to technology and gaming interests, by helping you curate healthy relationships with them.
- Having age-appropriate guidance and boundaries is helpful when treating young men.
New Life House is different from halfway houses since we offer comprehensive mental health integration. We also have extended lengths of stay, which are needed for sustainable change. Additionally, we focus on life stage development, not just sobriety, so when you transition into independent living, you have the tools to navigate it. Incorporating a family system approach is another difference, since we believe learning how to set boundaries and communicate with your family can create more effective support.
