Residential Services at the Children’s Home of Reading

The Children’s Home of Reading Residential Programs is for adolescent boys, ages 12 – 18, who have been abused or neglected, or face significant mental health challenges often behave in ways that are not socially acceptable without treatment.  When treatment at home is not effective, those behaviors must be confronted in an intensive, supportive environment.  The Children’s Home of Reading provides two distinct residential programs for this purpose. The treatment time is as brief as possible, while allowing necessary time for the child to heal and learn to make better behavioral choices.

The youth who are accepted into these residential programs are carefully chosen because we believe that their behavior can change.  Their choices are often the result of fear, anger, and loss of control over their lives.  Most often, they have experienced traumatic events in their childhood, and need individual and comprehensive intervention to understand the roots of their behaviors so they can find healing.

The Children’s Home of Reading Residential Programs give these youth and their families an opportunity to overcome their challenges.  They learn to take responsibility for their actions and their future…behaviorally, emotionally and academically.  For many of our clients, that empowerment brings healing and positive behavioral changes.  Hope for a better future is restored and lives are forever changed.
