Our Mission

Our mission at One House is to provide a safe space that allows our teens to articulate and make sense of feelings associated with the trauma of divorced or separated parents. Around the age of 11, adolescents dealing with traumatic events such as divorce or separation, begin to internalize their feelings. As they are still developing and attempting independence, they do not hold the capacity to adequately handle such events by themselves. Here at One House, we walk our teens through these feelings, in a familiar group setting.

At One House, we...

Make it small and take back our power

Without invalidating their feelings, we create a better understanding which allows our teens to navigate life in spite of uncontrollable situations.

Create community for our teens

It’s important that our teens do not feel alone. We want our teens to feel the power in community and tackling problems together. Our teens walk away with strong community to continue their journey.

Lean into better outlets and establish healthy habits

We plug our teens into next steps, so that their progress continues.

Include the FAMILY

As our teens create community, our parents do as well. We want the ENTIRE family headed towards healing. Our teens thrive when our parents do!

One House creates faith-based workshops designed for teens, ages 11-19, dealing with the lasting effects of divorced or separated unmarried parents. One House takes our teens through a series of topics that acknowledge and validate their feelings. We provide tools and resources in a safe space that aid in healing.

Divorce and separation affect the behaviors, moods, and short & long-term relationships of teens. When handled with care, healing is possible.

At One House, we use a support group-like setting to further emphasize to our teens that they are not alone. But also, that there is power in community and tackling problems together. Our teens leave with confidence, hope and a more positive view of their futures, from a place of wholeness.
