Coming Soon
A Transformational Island Experience for Substance Abusing Young Men
Welcome to the temporary website for Penikese – An Island of Healing. As the recently named Executive Director, it is both a pleasure and an honor to introduce you to our program. I was asked by the Board of the former Penikese Island School to work with them to create a new vision for their program which, as you may be aware, has been closed since 2011. Penikese, which we intend to open this summer, will serve adolescent males, ages 14 to 17, who are struggling to overcome Substance Use Disorders and co-occurring “internalizing” mental health conditions – most notably, depression and anxiety. Much research has gone into our decision to focus on these challenges facing young men in our society, and it is clear that there is a critical need for such a program. If you would like to read more about Whom We Serve, I invite you to read our resident profile document by clicking on the link, below:
Should you have questions, I would encourage you to contact our Director of Admissions, Patrick McAvoy.
Sincerely,
Jay Wolter, Executive Director
