We get it–teenagers are HARD. They’re messy, complicated, and absolutely BRUTAL on your self-esteem.

At Children’s Harbor, we’re raising 29 teenagers who face impossible odds. We’re fortunate to have access to incredible resources, expert advice, and evidence-based strategies that help us navigate the chaos of parenting teens. Most parents don’t have that kind of support, and we’re on a mission to improve that.
