A student’s day at Hope Academy includes classes, conversations, friendships, and people who care about how they’re doing. Recovery is part of everyday life here—and so are the families walking alongside our students.
Now, we’re creating more opportunities for teens to get treatment and for parents and caregivers to find support of their own.
Through our partnership with The Willow Center and our growing Family Engagement Program, we’re bringing more of that support together at Hope.
Getting a teen connected to treatment can mean another drive, another appointment, and another place to get comfortable. Having care available on Hope Academy’s campus helps make that next step more manageable.
The Willow Center provides Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT) for adolescents who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require inpatient or residential care. Treatment includes group therapy, individual counseling, personalized treatment planning, and family involvement.
For Hope students, that means access to treatment in a familiar setting. For teens attending other schools, this door is open, too. Eligible adolescents can participate without enrolling at Hope Academy.

When your child is in recovery, you’re learning alongside them. You may have questions about what’s happening, how to respond, or where to turn. Sometimes, you just want to talk with someone who understands.
That’s where Hope Academy’s Family Engagement Program comes in.
Led by Mindy Miller, LMHC, LCAC, our Director of Family Engagement, the program gives Hope parents and caregivers opportunities to learn, ask questions, connect with one another, and find helpful resources.
Through workshops, support groups, family events, and student-led activities, we’re making more room for families to be part of life at Hope. Their experiences and feedback help shape the program as it grows.
Mindy puts it simply: “I hope that families will know they are not alone in this journey.”
These programs are part of Hope Academy’s next chapter: more ways to support our students, more connections for their families, and more access to care for teens in our community.
