As a licensed and accredited Level 3.5 residential provider, we offer trauma-informed care and support to young men ages 12-18. The Children’s Home of Wheeling, Inc.’s residential program is licensed under the WV Department of Health and Human Resources guidelines for a Level II treatment facility. Young men ages 12-18 are placed with us by the judicial system until a more permanent home is found or a resident reaches adulthood. Our adolescents typically have exhibited moderate to severe adjustment difficulties in school, at home or in the community. Group and individual counseling is focused around a history of abuse, neglect, anxiety, stress, anger management, family issues, family violence, parenting concerns, poor self-esteem, grief, depression and peer relationships. Under the management of our assistant executive director and residential program coordinator, direct care and supportive counseling staff follow individualized treatment plans in a highly structured program. The goal is to provide each child with treatment and personal growth tools that help him to progress toward accountability, responsibility and successful self-management.
