Our Program
We are a residential home in the city of Tustin with 6 beds for girls ages 12-17 years. Our home is staffed by houseparents at all times. All teens are required to abide by a set of rules which are designed to provide structure and a common basis for individuals living together, as well as ensure safety for all living in the home. Teenagers are required to attend school while in residence, as well as their jobs and other activities in which they are involved. Laurel House requires individual and family counseling services for all sheltered teens.
Eligibility
- Girls 12-17
- Teens who can no longer live at home and desire a cooling off period
- Teens whose parents have expressed desire to participate in the program
Teens Not Eligible

Intake A telephone call from a teen or a referral group begins the intake procedure. The teen must indicate her desire and willingness to stay at Laurel House.

I first came to Laurel House about three years ago. I was twelve going on thirteen, and I thought I knew everything there was to know about life. I had many issues that needed to be worked on in counseling. I also had many problems with my parents. I worked out a lot of problems with my family and felt I had grown as a person by the time I graduated from the program. -- Former Resident
