Welcome
Every
year Seton Youth Shelters takes in local youth who don’t
possess food, clothing, or a roof over their heads; who are
in such despair or crisis that the street looks better than
their bed at home, some are even considered “throwaways” because
their parents just don’t want them anymore.
Since
opening in 1985, Seton Youth Shelters has provided shelter
and counseling services for at risk youth, ages 9
to 18. Recognized as being the resource for teens in the
Hampton Roads community, we work with youth to help them
regain self esteem by using a positive youth development
approach.
Seton Youth Shelters also operates a 24-hour crisis hotline,
(757) 498-HELP, and offers individual and family counseling
for adolescent girls and boys and their families, as well
as, parent support and outreach programs. New this year,
Seton Youth Shelters is starting our mentoring children of
prisoners program. If you would like to be a mentor or know
a child you would like to refer, please visit our mentoring
page listed under our programs menu.
Our crisis counseling services are available 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, at no charge.
Some facts and figures:
• Over 40 percent of the teens who are provided
shelter have experienced sexual or physical abuse and/or
neglect.
• These youth are not in trouble with the law; they are not
forced to come in for help; they want to succeed; they strive
to be able to return home to their families and they work
towards future goals.
• Happily, 90 percent of youth who receive shelter and
counseling services are reunited with their families and are better able
to resolve conflicts which often occur as a young person
deals with the issues of growing into adulthood and becoming
independent.
We appreciate your support!
