Youth Programs
Heartly House events and programs are a crucial part of our mission.
For more information, or if your organization would like to schedule a training session, please contact us at engage@heartlyhouse.org.
Heartly House knows that prevention starts with education and empowerment. We believe that to create real, community-level change, we must engage youth, families, and adults who work with and care for youth. To further this mission, our Community Engagement and Prevention Department offers free, evidence-based, trauma-informed prevention education, trainings and workshops in Frederick County.
