Heartlight was founded in 1989 as a non-profit Christian residential counseling opportunity dedicated to helping adolescents and their families work through difficult situations. It is a 9-12 month program that helps the teens and family work through 5 Levels, bringing about a turnaround in the thinking and actions of the teenager and creating a closer bond and relationship with parents and family.

Heartlight strives to provide the very best care to families caught in crisis situations that require an adolescent's removal from the home. Heartlight is a co-ed, year-round program for 48 residents, supervised by over 40 staff on a beautiful 100-acre campus in Eastern Texas.

Heartlight is committed to the belief that an atmosphere of relationships creates an arena for change.
