Children & Youth Experiencing Abuse & Neglect

WCH offers safe residential and comprehensive care to over 1,700 children and youth each year, ranging from newborns to 18 years old, who have experienced abuse and neglect.

We prioritize providing a safe and supportive environment for all children and youth. Upon arrival, our team assesses the child’s immediate needs with compassion and trauma-responsive care to ensure they feel safe and valued.
