From prevention to crisis… The Village does whatever it takes to help children, adults and families transform their lives and achieve real and meaningful change. The Village has been serving children and families for over 200 years. Today, we are one of the most respected child and family serving organizations in the state, helping vulnerable children and families at all levels of need…from children who have severe emotional or mental health problems to those who need support and guidance to stay on a successful path. We have also grown and evolved to better serve the needs of our community by adding mental health and substance abuse services for adults and partnering with primary care service providers to form integrated pediatric clinics. Our mission is to build a community of strong healthy families who protect and nurture children. We believe that families can thrive despite traumatic experiences they may have suffered in the past or adversity that may overwhelm them now. Our continuum of behavioral health treatment and support services for children and adults allows us to customize programs to treat the whole person – mentally and physically – and help children, adults and families build resilience to overcome challenges that life throws at them. The work we do enables children to be socially and emotionally healthy, thrive in safe and permanent homes and to succeed academically. We help adults to be effective, nurturing caregivers, and be able to manage and prevent crises. Our work also builds strong, stable communities. That’s good for everyone – in every community.
