The Farano Center provides trauma-informed congregate care services for children and young adults from birth to 21 years of age. We specialize in serving young people who have a range of developmental, behavioral, and mental health issues that cannot be managed in a home setting. Many of these children have also been victims of parental abuse and neglect and have been severely traumatized. We also provide emergency placement for children who have been removed from their parents' or caretakers' care. Our goal is to help children develop skills to cope with life stressors safely. We aim to assist families in safely managing their child’s challenging behaviors and/or addressing family concerns that have led to placement. All goals are geared toward developing a safe and stable permanency plan (which could include a return to the parent, a foster home, or an adoption plan).
