All children and adolescents deserve a safe environment in which to successfully grow into adulthood. The Jewish Board offers supportive and nurturing residential programs geared to make this possible.
Our children and teen residential programs provide a protective place for those who are emotionally troubled, developmentally disabled, severely autistic, or living with a history of sexual abuse, among other issues.

A lot of times, young people have experienced abuse or neglect. When children experience trauma, it’s hard to trust adults because the trust has been violated. We have to reestablish that there are adults who are good in the world and that they can trust.
