Our school’s academic program is recognized by the Indiana Department of Education.

Teens and their families are provided therapeutic services via a highly trained and qualified group of counselors.

I learned that there are people that care about me and they can’t help you until you let them in. They can only offer you help. It’s up to you to take IT! And it took me a long time to figure that out. With out your help I don’t think I would have made it this far.

Amanda, Former resident

I was a troubled youth who grew up here. I am so grateful to the staff. I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for my time at Shults-Lewis.

Former Resident

Wow! That last 4 years have been a major turn around in my life… It only took me 3 years to realize what a blessing Shults-Lewis was to me.

This is a great place for troubled youth to get the compassionate help that they deserve to better their lives! I spent many years there and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
