Residential Care Referrals...

Residential care is available on the Carmi campus for children ages 6-18 who have been victimized by abuse, neglect, or abandonment, or who are experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties. Children live in cottages, divided by age and gender. Houseparents live with each group of 6-8 children. Individual and group therapy assist children as they learn to identify their problems and deal with them in constructive ways. Adventure-based counseling is also provided by a full time activities therapist.

All children attend a local public school and are encouraged to participate in community activities. Special care is given to the educational, spiritual, and emotional growth of each child.
