About this facility
Assurance Home is a therapeutic group home in Roswell, New Mexico, that serves youth ages 13–17 who have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma, or other serious challenges. Children placed here often have moderate emotional or behavioral issues but little to no criminal justice involvement. The program stands out for its long-term success in helping youth rebuild trust and transition into healthy family environments.
The program uses a trauma-informed approach supported by individual, group, and family therapy led by on-site master’s level therapists. Therapeutic activities include equine therapy, ropes courses, and goal setting. These experiences help youth understand their behaviors, build self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships—key steps toward a more stable and fulfilling future.
Youth live on a peaceful 15-acre countryside campus with fields, stables, and a vintage farmhouse. The home is designed to feel welcoming and calm. Children take part in fun trips, weekend activities, and even summer jobs. This supportive living situation gives them new memories, life skills, and a fresh sense of hope.
