Christian Boarding School for Struggling Teens

      Shepherd’s Hill Farm gives praise to God for the teens and families we are allowed to help heal.  Many teens today are struggling, and many families are suffering today.  We love to hear of families being restored by the healing power of Jesus Christ which often happens at Shepherd’s Hill Farm.  You’ll be delighted as you listen to this heartwarming testimony of a Mother & Son who are on the path towards a healthy bonding with each other and with Christ for years to come.

Dr. Archibald Hart, Ph.D., FPPR

What is an·he·do·ni·a?   It is the inability to experience pleasure, particularly with the simple things of life.  Anhedonia is becoming an epidemic in our crazy multi-tasking culture.  Learn the causes, characteristics, and cures for anhedonia by listening to this expounding interview with Dr. Archibald Hart & Trace Embry.   Anhedonia is affecting our teenage population and their ability to interact socially.  It’s also affecting our families, churches, and our entire culture.  Is America in need of a “Wake-Up Call?”

PARENTS, Does This Describe Your Teen? Is your teen easily bored?  Is he irritable, lethargic, angry or even depressed when he isn’t being entertained by a video game; a computer screen; an IPod; a cell phone; or some other stimulating or exciting activity?  Is school work difficult and bible study an exercise in mental brutality for him?  Are headphones a virtual addendum to his anatomy?  Does he find common activities, which should bring pleasure to an average teenager, dull and boring?  Do activities that used to interest him and bring him pleasure no longer interest him or bring him pleasure? Many parents write these symptoms off to “routine adolescence.” Or is it Anhedonia?    Learn more about this at Shepherd’s Hill Farm

Are Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) & Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) the same thing ? 

Because children’s brains are still developing, trauma has a much more pervasive and long-term effect on their concept of themselves, on their ability to regulate themselves, and their sense of the world.
