Our objective is to help adolescents who are making destructive choices realize their worth and potential, creating in them a sincere desire to achieve a higher purpose in life. We believe today’s youth have more opportunities to achieve their goals than ever before, and it is our mission to help them make the necessary and effective changes in their lives that will facilitate long-term success.
Often, low self-esteem, "entitlement", academic under-achievement, substance abuse, behavioral problems, and family conflict contribute to self-destructive behavior. However, at White Rock Academy your child will have the life changing experiences and new perspectives that will set the stage for their successful future.
Our unique setting in the rural heartland of America provides an excellent therapeutic atmosphere for growth and change. Students at White Rock Academy participate in activities that combine the virtue of service with the benefits of working with and caring for various animals. We believe service to others is essential to building self-esteem in our youth, and service activities combined with the unconditional love of animals creates an atmosphere that increases self-worth and integrity.
White Rock Academy is a Kansas State licensed residential program, licensed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.  We serve adolescent teens ages 11-18 who are struggling with issues such as substance abuse, "entitlement", anger issues, defiance at home and school, running away, parents’ divorce, delinquency, failing or skipping school, negative peer groups, oppositional and defiant attitudes, adoption issues, shoplifting, or suspension and/or expulsion from school.
Statistics show that most youth are unable to make long-term changes through traditional outpatient methods. White Rock Academy incorporates a continuation of previous treatment while providing additional therapeutics including Positive Peer Culture, Christian Leadership, experiential treatment, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and community support from many caring professionals. The comprehensive treatment program at White Rock Academy will help your child look toward a bright future and transition back to a cohesive and productive home life. We know you’ll get the help you desire for your child at White Rock Academy. |
