The staff at Shelterwood continues to be blessed by the feedback we receive from the families we serve. One current Shelterwood father recently wrote:
"He is doing great…it has been an incredible transformation… I respect him as much as any man in my life…it is not something I would ever say without meaning it...he has truly earned my admiration... thank you for putting such a caring team of bigs, counselors, teachers and staff at SW…SWood has saved our family"

Helping Struggling Teens and Restoring Families Through Christian Relationships
--a program of Doulos Ministries, Inc.--
This song was written by Isaac Slade with The Fray after spending time with one of our Shelterwood teens when he was performing for one of our fall retreats back in 2004.
He had this to say about the song on www.thefray.net The title track, 'How To Save A Life," was inspired by Slade's experience as a mentor to a crack addicted teen. "I was a sheltered suburban kid when I met this guy. He was a recovering addict, coming out of a really tough teenage life. Thankfully, he was on his way out of that life, so he was able to really look back with some objectivity. The song is more of a memoir about his slow motion descent and all the relationships he lost along the way." Destined to be one of the band's greatest hits, Slade isn't worried about getting tired of performing the song: "It is the easiest one for me to sing every night. I constantly get emails from people who relate to it."
