Residential Child Caring Program
This program is available for children ages 1 through 20. It is designed to provide long-term care until the child may be reunited with their family or placed in another caring family environment.
Some of our residents remain in our care until they are equipped to live independently.
How does the program work?
Each child is provided a Case Manager who coordinates their daily and long-term care.
This includes:
- Developing a long-term permanency plan
- Arranging for regular visitation with family and friends
- Acting as liaison with parent/custodian, school, healthcare providers, MDCPS and anyone else involved in their care

A trauma-informed approach to
meeting the needs of at-risk
children and families.
Too often well-meaning organizations cause more trauma to at-risk children and families in their efforts to provide help. It’s not intentional, just uninformed.
Our staff is trained to recognize trauma and respond to the needs of children and families by creating a physically, psychologically, and emotionally safe environment.
