We advise current and/or former staff to report any abuses you may have witnessed while working at Shelterwood. For information on your rights and how to take action, visit www.heal-online.org/blowthewhistle.htm. If you were fired or forced to resign because you opposed any illegal and/or unethical practices at Shelterwood, you have the right to take action.
If you were harmed (family or survivor) by Shelterwood, please contact [email protected] if you remember the long-term employees and from which years. This will help! Also, if you recognize any of these staff as having worked at another program, please send in any information about their past or present employment at other facilities and/or cults.

| This program does not provide program details or enrollment materials online or to the general public for review.. Shelterwood does provide a "questionnaire-type" application online. But, we require program details and the enrollment materials in order to effectively review the program. Since it is a "faith-based" program, we recommend you review the contract reviews for other "faith-based" programs (or programs so advertised) at www.heal-online.org/abundant.htm, www.heal-online.org/abmcontract.htm, and www.heal-online.org/artcranch.htm. If the contracts for Shelterwood are similar to the unrelated program contracts linked in this paragraph, we advise against your placing your child in the program. | ||
