For children and youth who cannot live with their families, a residential setting provides a caring and structured home. Here, they learn to cope with their circumstances and learn new skills they will carry into their adulthood. They receive treatment and counseling that allows them to identify and appreciate healthy life situations and settings. The goal for each child is to help them return home to their birth family or to be placed in a new permanent home. Whenever possible, counselors work with each child’s family to help make this important transition.
