Who We Are
 Orchards
Children's Services has been a beacon of hope for
children and families for over 45 years.
Orchards seeks to protect and nurture children and
youth by providing shelter, sustenance, life- and
educational skills and opportunities. Our
programs and services touch children from birth to
young adulthood, and we remain committed to them
every step of the way.
We believe in engaging individuals in planning for
their own success, and offer services and support in
their homes and communities. By working in
partnership with parents, relatives, foster parents
and children where they live, we empower them to
achieve stability and long-term self-sufficiency.
What We Do
Orchards
strives constantly to redefine the stereotypes
applied to troubled families and traumatized
children. We believe that labels often
translate into stigmas. We create
opportunities to connect the young people we serve
with accessible therapeutic and health services,
mainstream educational resources and conventional
recreational activities.
We
employ professionally qualified staff, trained to
assist families in developing improved
communications and parenting skills, to promote the
well being of children being fostered and adopted.
We
provide counseling, and serve as a link to community
resources related to recovery and employability.
We further support children and families through
this period by facilitating transportation and
addressing critical housing needs. |
