Who We Are
We are, first and foremost, a home.
And the people who live under our roof become like family.
​
A young boy first walks through these doors…
broken and afraid
angry and bewildered
anxious and alone.
​
Abuse, neglect, violence and unspeakable trauma have derailed his childhood.
It is our mission to rebuild healthy lives for these children...allow them to reconstruct the dream of a rewarding and productive life…and restore hope and joy to them completely… body, mind, heart, soul and spirit.
We believe it is never too late for a happy childhood.
The severity of the boys’ problems requires the expertise of a highly trained professional staff. The team, which includes clinical therapists, youth specialists, education counselors, recreation staff and a medical liaison, creates a highly structured treatment plan for each child to help rebuild his life.
The House team has grown to over fifty full and part-time staff whose work is supported by many active volunteers.
