The decision to place a child in residential care is not an easy one for the child or the guardians. However, sometimes it is necessary to provide the child with the comprehensive therapeutic support he or she needs to overcome a crisis. KidsPeace’s residential campuses provide essential food, clothing, and education along with intensive therapy, life skills training, vocational training, and therapeutic recreation – all in an atmosphere that simulates the warmth and comfort of home.
