New Participants
If you are interested in registering for a program, you need to schedule an IFA—Initial Family Assessment. This program may not be appropriate for all individuals. Sometimes we may not know this until after the child has begun the program. If this program does not meet your needs, we will provide a variety of other resources. Refunds will be provided if we feel this program is not a fit.
Parent Testimonies
“When I had nowhere to turn and my daughter was going through very tough times, Sunshine Center and their staff not only took my daughter under their wings of hope but loved me through what was about to be the hardest thing I ever had to do. My daughter got so much from the puppets, feeling like she was not alone, that others also go through similar troubles and can make it through.” – Parent
“My children learned through the puppets that addiction is not something to be shameful of but to understand. Sunshine Center and the BABES program unconditionally supports and gently guides so many broken youths through the process of healing and having a voice.” – Happy Grandparent
“Many years my children took this program at Sunshine Center and today they are adults. I see the life lessons they learned still shining through!” – Grateful Mother
