Bar None ShelterPlus

Enhanced shelter services for youth

Bar None ShelterPlus Residential Services offers hope and a comprehensive array of effective children’s shelter-care services on the Bar None campus. Bar None has a 24-bed capacity and offers same-day intake.

These services are individualized, culturally affirmative, and designed to provide trauma-informed care to both male and female youth. Bar None utilizes the ARISE Life Skills Curriculum and offers evidence-based skills groups. Norris Lake is specifically designed to connect with disengaged, at-risk youth, helping them prepare for successful transition.

"I wanted to thank you and the staff at Bar None for being so supportive to the resident during these five long months. I appreciate your communication with me and flexibility surrounding his circumstances. After over 20 placements in less than three years, he matured greatly at your facility. Thank you for all that you guys do for children. It does not go unnoticed!"
