We provide a warm and caring environment where a child can just be a kid.

Child and Family Services Residential Program has the capacity to serve 46 children in three different programs. Our staff provides treatment in small-group settings to help children and families overcome the obstacles and traumatic experiences that prevent them from living at home. Through dedicated care, treatment and supervision, children and families learn the skills needed to prepare for discharge back home or to another type of residence.

Our residences are certified by either the Office of Mental Health or the Office of Child and Family Services.

Residential Treatment Facility

This residential program is located in Buffalo and serves children ages 6-14 who have an acute primary psychiatric disability. This is an intense, voluntary placement, to provide support and treatment for the child and family to assist in reunification as soon as possible. Children are provided a safe environment of therapeutic services on campus, including psychiatric services, therapeutic recreation, nursing, crisis prevention, and intensive therapy, as well as supplemental therapies accessed through community resources (e.g., therapeutic horseback riding, art therapy and music therapy).

Lee Randall Jones Community Residence

This program is a community-based program located in Cheektowaga and serves children ages 6-14. Children utilize services in the community which facilitates continuity of services once discharged. These services include medical treatment, recreational activities/therapy and psychiatric services. 

Residential Treatment Center

This program provides treatment to boys, ages 5-14. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) provides services to children that are with us because they have been victims of abuse and/or neglect. These children are in the custody of the county in which they lived, and discharge is decided by that county and/or the courts. Staff work closely with county workers and families with the goal of reunification. If reunification is not an option, we work to find a foster family and/or an adoptive family for the child.  The goal is to get them with a family as soon as possible.
