About Me

I am a strong supporter of Seton Youth Shelters, and have voluntarily established this page to provide information and help about the organization. They are helping kids in OUR own backyard here in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk, please check out the Official web page at setonyouthshelters.org for any information.The views and opinions expressed here are my own, and not necessarily those of Seton Youth Shelters, its Board of Directors, or its staff.If you are a youth in crisis please call Seton Youth Shelters' 24-hour Hotline at (757) 498-HELP or toll free at 1-866-751-7640.

Every year Seton Youth Shelters takes in local youth who don’t possess food, clothing, or a roof over their heads; who are in such despair or crisis that the street looks better than their bed at home, some are even considered “throwaways” because their parents just don’t want them anymore.

Since opening in 1985, Seton Youth Shelters has provided shelter and counseling services for at risk youth, ages 9 to 18. Recognized as being the resource for teens in the Hampton Roads community, we work with youth to help them regain self esteem by using a positive youth development approach.
Seton Youth Shelters also operates a 24-hour crisis hotline, (757) 498-HELP, and offers individual and family counseling for adolescent girls and boys and their families, as well as, parent support and outreach programs. New this year, Seton Youth Shelters is starting our mentoring children of prisoners program. If you would like to be a mentor or know a child you would like to refer, please visit our mentoring page listed under our programs menu.
Our crisis counseling services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no charge.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

It's almost midnight. Your friends have gone home and you are left walking the street alone. You can't go home – or won't – because of the terrible fight you had with those two people who call themselves parents. They have been yelling at you for months now; you can't do anything right. School is a waste; you are failing most subjects and giving up hope. Maybe you just ought to runaway.This is a familiar tale told by many of the teenagers coming to Seton Youth Shelters. They are teenagers in crisis. They end up at Seton Youth Shelters because of the hope offered to them and their parents. We offer hope of reconciliation, understanding, and love. In over 90% of cases, reconciliation is successful.Seton Youth Shelters leads the way in delivering critical help to teens in crisis throughout Southside Hampton Roads. The caring staff offers hope and confidence to teens and parents while creative implementation of programs provides added capability.You can be a part of the success story at Seton Youth Shelters. Contact any Board member or the Executive Director, Paul Saley. Seton Youth Shelters is dedicated to making a difference one teen at a time.
