In an ideal world, there wouldn’t be any reasons for a child to need an out-of-home setting. But in the real world today, young people often need such a setting for their own safety and progress toward a successful future. We are proud of our long history of out-of-home expertise, and our commitment to what is best for each child and each family. Today, we offer an array of programs across different stages of childhood and adolescence, as well as support for teen mothers.
