Residential Services
Some children need more care than a family can give.
- Is your family exhausted from dealing with your child/teen’s behavior?
- Are you awake at night worried about your child’s safety?
If your child is:
- unpredictable,
- unsafe,
- scary or even aggressive,
- disobedient or oppositional: skipping school, running away, drinking, using drugs, fighting, in legal trouble, or engaging in problem sexual behavior.
NCYF's residential programs, located in western Massachusetts, offer an engaging and supportive living environment for children, as well as extensive support services for you, the parent.

- An adaptable care plan that changes based on your child's needs.
- Support groups with other parents that help lessen the sense of isolation.
- Professionals to go with you to school meetings and to advocate for your child.
