Our Services
Youth are cared for and supervised by a multi-disciplinary treatment team that includes Therapists, Psychiatrist, Psychiatric Nurse (certified in mental health), Case Managers, and other trained para-professional staff. A consulting Psychologist is also available.
We serve 16 youth, females and males, in two home style cottages on a 25 acre campus. The ages of our youth range from 12 (must be in the 6th grade) to 21 years of age. United Methodist Children’s Home consistently strives for excellence as we seek to help youth and families grow through services provided in a nurturing environment of trust and open communication.
