Youth Residential Center

A safe and loving home for children to heal and grow.

Youth Residential Center

Caritas Family Solutions provides a continuum of residential based behavioral health services through the Caritas Youth Residential Center. The Youth Residential Center houses three behavioral health-based programs that are supported by a team of administrative professionals. All programs have behavioral health trained direct care staff as well as dedicated youth services coordinators, nurses, and therapists. The administration works alongside the direct care staff within the programs to provide individualized and trauma informed care to the youth.

We strive to promote healing of the mind, body and spirit to enable the youth in our care to flourish. We nurture and encourage the values of love, care and respect within all of our relationships. More than anything, they need to know that there are people who love them, value them, and care what happens to them.

Our youth and families receive individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy as needed. During their stay, they have access to healthcare, educational opportunities, recreational opportunities, properly balanced meals and receive the care and attention of dedicated, well-trained, professional staff. Once they are physically and emotionally healthy, and have gained the skills and ability needed to live in a home environment, we place them in a suitable loving home.

Youth Therapeutic Treatment Center

The Caritas Youth Therapeutic Treatment Center (YTTC) is a qualified residential treatment center for youth ages 8 to 16. The YTTC is designed to provide intensive therapy services for youth in the care of the Department of Children and Family services. These youth have often experienced significant trauma and as a result often engage in behaviors that create a risk to the health and wellbeing of themselves and/or others. The YTTC works with them to build their self confidence and gain control in their lives so that they can return to thrive within their communities.

Youth Emergency Shelter

The Caritas Youth Emergency Shelter (YES) provides emergency and temporary placement for youth in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services who have recently lost their placement. The YES provides placements for girls and boys ages 6 to 17 years old. Caritas provides them with a warm and homelike environment to live while their team works to identify a long term placement.

Teen Parenting Treatment Center

The Caritas Teen Parenting Treatment Center (TPTC) is a group home for pregnant and parenting youth between the ages of 15 and 21. The TPTC is designed to provide therapy and community services to youth in the care of the Department of the Children and Family Services and their children. The TPTC focuses on providing the behavioral health treatment needs of the teen parents while also helping them learn how to become strong and confident parents to their children.
