The West Virginia Children's Home
Resource Details
This facility is a licensed, self-contained, non-secure residential facility operated by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. The facility has private, semi-private, dormitory and pre-independent housing. The State Department of Education operates a fully accredited on-grounds school. Selected youth attend the local school in Elkins, WV.
The West Virginia Children's Home program is designed to provide social services to youth ages 12-18 years old from all 55 West Virginia counties who are dependent, neglected, delinquent. These youth cannot make a successful adjustment in the natural home, foster home or group home due to the youth's behaviors and attitudes.
The facility is staffed 24 hours a day.
