THERAPY, RESIDENTIAL, AND JOB TRAINING SERVICES FOR TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS

For hurting and lost youth. For the anxious, depressed, traumatized, and suicidal. Rawhide exists for you. Because every one of us was created to be loved. With Rawhide, healing starts and hope blooms.

Your donation keeps kids alive and gives them hope.

 The youth we serve feel hopeless and are often on the brink of suicide. They have no insurance and have been turned away by others. But not Rawhide. Your gift allows us to help them. Donate today.
