What We Do

What in the world is going on?

There is a silent epidemic working its way through teens, their families and society at large. Confirmed by government and private agencies alike, this epidemic is causing behaviors that can ruin individuals' lives, shatter once-solid families and harm entire communities.

TreeHouse is saving teens lives

TreeHouse is an organization dedicated to breaking the silence and stemming the tide of the epidemic by loving kids, bringing hope and transforming lives. At TreeHouse, we have a vision, a mission, a spiritual focus ... and a commitment: to love, support and transform at-risk teens.

TreeHouse is a faith based, non-profit organization offering hope, guidance, and unconditional love to at-risk teens, alumni, and parents during difficult times. Common issues for TreeHouse teens are depression, suicidal tendencies, cutting, sexual promiscuity, anger, bullying, substance abuse, and eating disorders. TreeHouse participants are loved unconditionally.  TreeHouse staff provide holistic support by forming long-term mentoring relationships. They listen, affirm, and support who teens and parents are. Participants care about what we know, when they know how much we care. Participants see TreeHouse as a safe place to be real about the pain in their lives that is causing them to think and act out in destructive ways.  TreeHouse is a place to have fun, meet friends, discover faith, overcome that pain, serve others, and be empowered by staff to succeed.

Since it's inception in 1984, TreeHouse serves nearly 1500 youth annually at seven locations in the north and west suburbs of the Twin Cities, amassing over 45,600 annual outreach contacts.
