Prodigal Kids

About Prodigal Kids

Prodigal Kids is a Jacksonville, Florida ministry of Amen Always Church, offering behavioral health services and a women's sober living residence in the city's Northside area.

A Jacksonville Ministry With a Housing Program

Prodigal Kids operates inside a larger church ministry, running counseling, referrals and behavioral health programming alongside its women's residence. That structure means a resident's recovery support is one part of a wider set of family and community services.

Behavioral Health Services Beyond Housing

The ministry offers alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention services, substance use intervention, an intensive outpatient program, community outreach and parent education. Those services sit alongside its housing and child care work, giving Prodigal Kids a broader footprint in Northside Jacksonville than a housing-only operator.

Certification Under Florida's Approved Body

Florida certifies recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing entity the state's Department of Children and Families has approved for this kind of housing. Certification is voluntary, so anyone evaluating Prodigal Kids should confirm its current status directly with the ministry.

Serving Northside Jacksonville

Jacksonville's city and county governments are consolidated, so Prodigal Kids works within Duval County's single consolidated city-county jurisdiction. Northside Jacksonville sits within reach of the metro area's behavioral health and family-service providers, giving the ministry's residents a wide network to draw on.
