THANK YOU FOR CHANGING CHILDREN'S LIVES!

Our generous community and friends contributed over $183,000 to support the children and families in our care!

Planting the Seeds for a Stronger Tomorrow!

As we reflect on the vital needs of vulnerable children today, we’re reminded of the incredible difference we can make together. Mental health is at the heart of our mission at The House of the Good Shepherd. Our programs—Foster Care, Residential Programs, Special Education School, and Behavioral Health Services—are designed to provide effective care in a safe, nurturing environment close to home.

Every day, our dedicated mental health experts collaborate to deliver personalized, trauma-informed care tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our work is built on a foundation of resilience, stability, and hope, creating a space where children can heal and thrive.

Cultivating Resilience | Integrated Mental Heath Support for Youth at The House

What We Do:

The House of the Good Shepherd provides a comprehensive mental health network tailored to each youth’s needs. Our individual, family, and group therapy programs support personal and social well-being in a safe, structured environment. For those requiring intensive care, our Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) and Intensive Treatment Program (ITP) deliver specialized, trauma-informed therapy to address complex challenges and foster healing.

How We Do It:

One of our key advantages is having a dedicated team of in-house mental health experts who offer consistent, immediate, and personalized support without the delays that often come with outpatient services. Our psychiatrists, clinicians, and specialists know each child and family well, creating trust, stability, and seamless communication for truly integrated care.

Why We Do It:

Our goal goes beyond immediate support; we’re building resilience and creating pathways to long-term wellness. Through steady, compassionate guidance, we plant seeds of hope and opportunity, helping young people rise above adversity to build lives filled with confidence and promise.
