The staff of therapists, childcare workers, teachers, social workers and medical professionals provide a nurturing environment in which trust, self-esteem and healing can take root and grow. Childhelp provides enriching therapeutic activities, education, and pastoral care to residents during their stay, whether a few weeks or a number of months. After their stay at our Villages, many children are able to flourish in less intensive settings. This includes transitioning to a Childhelp Group Home or Foster Home, or returning to their parents, guardian, or kinship care.
