Programs and Services

At Ambriar, we are dedicated to ensuring our youth get all the support they need to build a successful future. That is why our pilot program, "Home Base", will provide the following services:

• Therapeutic Support: Our trauma-focused therapy services are designed to address the emotional and psychological needs of each child. We offer individual counseling, group therapy, and crisis intervention, using evidence-based practices to help children process trauma, develop coping mechanisms, and improve their overall well-being.

  • Healing Circle Sessions: Our trauma-informed team hosts weekly group therapy circles where youth can safely express their emotions, process trauma, and learn coping skills alongside trusted professionals and peers.

• Life Skills Development: We equip youth with practical skills that prepare them for real-world challenges. From financial literacy and future chefs in the making to conflict resolution and communication, our programs focus on fostering independence and empowering children to take control of their futures.

  • Juice Up The Future: One of the programs we are excited about is our nutrition and wellness program that will teach youth the benefits of juicing and healthy eating. This program will also provide freshly cooked meals to underserved families and offer cooking classes to equip youth with lifelong food preparation skills.

• Educational Support: Ambriar partners with local schools and educators to provide academic support, including tutoring and specialized educational resources. We aim to ensure that each child remains on track with their education and receives the support needed to thrive academically.

  • Homework Heroes Program: We work with local educators and volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring, IEP support, and homework help tailored to each child’s academic needs and learning style.

• Recreational Therapy: Through activities such as art, music, and outdoor recreation, we use creative outlets to promote emotional expression, build self-esteem, and encourage social interaction. These programs are designed to be both therapeutic and fun, helping children reconnect with their sense of joy.

  • Creative Healing Studio: Youth participate in art journaling, drum circles, dance, and nature walks to release stress, express themselves creatively, and rebuild confidence in a joyful environment.

• Family Engagement: Family involvement is a key part of our approach. We offer family therapy, parent education workshops, and regular check-ins to ensure that families are fully engaged in their child’s progress. Strengthening family bonds is crucial to the child’s long-term success.

  • Parent Empowerment Nights: We host monthly workshops for caregivers, offering parenting strategies, trauma education, and guided family bonding activities to strengthen the home and support the child’s success.

• Health and Wellness: We prioritize the physical and mental health of our children. With access to healthcare services, nutrition counseling, and wellness activities, we ensure that every child’s overall health is addressed alongside their emotional needs.

  • Wellness Wednesdays: Once operational, we will offer weekly wellness sessions featuring mindfulness, physical fitness, hygiene education, and access to on-site or partnered healthcare providers to support whole-child well-being.

Every program at Ambriar Youth Oasis is built on the foundation of trauma-informed care, designed to promote healing, personal development, and lifelong resilience.
