Services Provided in Excellence

Our program offers 24-hour care in a supportive and healing environment designed to foster growth and resilience. Located in Kinston, NC, our family-style residential home provides a safe and nurturing space for girls aged 13-17 as they navigate mental health challenges while building self-awareness, connection, and acceptance within their

 families and communities.

Through our Free 2 Be Me Program Model, we empower youth to strengthen emotional resilience, develop essential life skills, and establish healthy coping strategies. With individualized care, 24/7 support, and evidence-based interventions, we help young residents stabilize, heal, and build the confidence needed for long-term success in a warm, home-like setting.

At Harper & Associates, we proudly offer 1915(i) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) to support individuals with mental health needs and intellectual/developmental disabilities in living meaningful, independent lives in their communities.

• Community Living & Supports – Helping individuals build daily living skills, increase independence, and participate fully in community life.
