Our Story
Simply Hope Family Outreach

First open house
In 2015, Simply Hope began as a small community support group focused on helping families cope with the painful effects of addiction. What started around shared experiences and a desire to bring healing quickly became a vital source of strength for those facing life’s toughest challenges.

By 2021, Simply Hope grew in both reach and impact—earning its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and expanding its mission to serve youth, adults, and families through a variety of trauma-informed programs.

Today, Simply Hope Family Outreach is a trusted community resource, offering support groups, youth programs like Teen Hope and STAC, recovery services, and creative healing opportunities. Through compassionate, confidential care, we continue to walk beside families—helping them heal, grow, and thrive.

What We Do

At Simply Hope Family Outreach, we believe every family and teen deserves a safe place to heal, grow, and thrive. Based in Burley, Idaho, we provide free, trauma-informed programs for families and underserved youth facing life’s toughest challenges.

Our services include:
  • A daily afterschool program with meals, mentorship, and life skills for teens
  • Immediate crisis assessments through our Safe Teen Assessment Center (STAC)
  • Case management and access to counseling referrals
  • Support groups for adults navigating grief, addiction, and family stress

We’re making a measurable impact—reducing youth suicide, building resilience, and restoring hope in our community.

Be part of the change.

Join us in creating a brighter future for Idaho’s families and teens.
