🎉 Happy Birthday to Fred, our therapy dog! 🐶🐾🥳

Fred is a registered therapy dog with Love on a Leash in N.D. He currently works alongside his owner, Terra Ellingson, LAC, and C.A.A.T.P. at Eckert Youth Homes, serving the adolescents in AAA. Fred enjoys spending time with his paw pals, family, and volunteering on Wednesday nights at Girls Ministries. You might even spot him on the weekends, enjoying shopping at his two favorite animal-friendly stores, Tractor Supply and Runnings.

Drumroll please.... 🥁🥁🥁
Back in November, Eckert Outpatient joined a national door decorating contest in support of Red Ribbon Week, themed “Life is a Puzzle - Solve It Drug Free.”
After a couple weeks of voting, we were thrilled to learn that Eckert’s door received the MOST votes in our region - that’s most of the Midwest! 🏆
Even better, we’ve already started planning and collaborating with Williston High School on creative ways to use the prize to enhance education and prevention efforts in our schools. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity and SO excited for what’s ahead!

As the year comes to a close, we’re honored to share our end-of-year letter with you. 💙
Your continued support of Eckert Youth Homes means more than words can express. Because of you, hope is strengthened, lives are changed, and our youth are reminded that they are not alone. Thank you for standing with us throughout this year and for being an essential part of our mission.

If you feel inclined to give, we’ve included a QR code that will take you directly to our website, where you’ll find a “Donate Now” button. Your generosity helps us continue providing care, support, and opportunity to the youth we serve.

Hey friends! 💚❤️
Our residential kids need your help with a very important holiday mission…
Ugly Christmas Sweaters! 🧥✨

We’re collecting Christmas sweaters until Next Monday, December 15th! The cute ones, the funny ones, the “Grandma knitted this at 2am and added googly eyes” ones… ALL of them! 😆

If you have a spare holiday sweater looking for a new home, our youth would love to rock them this season. 🎁💫

Drop-offs can be made by December 15th at our Outpatient Office:
