A Message from Our Founders:
Trace and Beth Embry
Right now, you’re likely struggling with frustration, anger, fear, confusion, anxiety, guilt, and even failure. Beth and I understand. But let us at least help quell the guilt and failure for you. First, you can’t be guilty for your child’s free will. And the fact that you’re seeking help for your child is evidence that you are certainly not a failure.
Choosing therapeutic residential care for your teenager is likely the toughest decision you will ever make as a parent. The toxicity of our culture and the proliferation of digital technology have teamed up to make it tougher than ever for even the best parents to feel successful these days.
Understanding our times and knowing what to do is much of the “How” and “Why” behind Shepherd’s Hill Academy’s unique and successful approach to the healing and restoration of teens and families. We want to offer that to you.
“Many said it couldn’t be done.
But God had other plans.”
Written by SHA Cofounder Trace Embry, The Miracles of Shepherd’s Hill explores the heart and history behind the healing work done at Shepherd’s Hill Academy. Experience one family’s journey to unfamiliar territory where, with only two hundred dollars and a handshake, they would be launched into a more than thirty-year odyssey of miraculous events and struggles that defied all odds.
