Residential Treatment Services at Holy Family Institute  

Holy Family Social Services provides residential treatment to children who have been removed from their homes because of family crisis, abuse or neglect.

Goals of Treatment
The goal of the residential treatment program depends on circumstances. When a child’s biological family can become capable of meeting the child’s needs, the goal is to reunite the child with his or her family. In other cases, Holy Family helps children join foster families or prepares young people for independent living in the community.
