Check out the latest news from InnerChange:
InnerChange is delighted to announce that Lake House Academy, a therapeutic boarding school serving girls ages 10-14, has joined the InnerChange family of programs. We are committed to our vision to heal generations by providing caring, family-oriented and quality-focused residential programs. Lake House Academy embodies this commitment to heal generations by reconnecting young girls and their families and nurturing the skills needed to be healthy young women. This exciting partnership broadens InnerChange’s reach to help more families achieve long term change and healing. Lake House Academy establishes InnerChange’s presence on the East Coast, providing an opportunity for students who live in the eastern United States to receive care closer to home.
Lake House Academy is an innovative program designed specifically for young girls, located in Ashville, North Carolina. Lake House embodies InnerChange’s CORE philosophy of care that effective healing must be systemic, outcome-based, experiential, and relational. Lake House Academy provides approximately 15 hours of counseling per week for its students and their families. They hold an academic and therapeutic accreditation with the National Independent Private Schools Association.
Please join us in welcoming Lake House Academy to the InnerChange family!
