Types of Treatment
The residential component of The Children's Home provides a very special envrionment where children are offered opportunities to succeed through involvement in a variety of activities. From development of social skills to leisure time, children are given the opportunity to learn, the direction and strength to grow and a strong foundation on which to build positive futures.

Our motivation system is implemented within the context of positive therapeutic relationships. Once the child has settled into the unit routine, the building upon the individual's strengths begins.

The goal at The Children's Home - "to return each child to his/her community with a more positive and productive attitude" - is approached through the treatment team. The team works together with other involved individuals to address the specific needs and highly specialized services required by each child and their family. This results in a "whole child" approach to treatment.

Family Therapy
With our focus on children and families, The Children's Home utilizes masters' level marriage and family therapists in the delivery of individual, group and family therapy.

Whether children return to their original homes, or find new ones, it is part of the philosophy of The Children's Home to make sure that the children are allowed to develop into mature, responsible adults. We focus on hierarchies and boundry-setting for all systems that impact on our approuch to working with children from a multitude of diagnoses.
