“What’s done to children, they will do to society.”  Karl A. Menninger

Trauma and abuse can physically change a child’s brain. This trauma may be the result of anything from sexual or physical abuse, to abandonment, neglect or even genetic mental illness.

The symptoms of  trauma or mental illness can include a child’s urge to harm himself, rage attacks against people, animals or property, drug & alcohol abuse, risky sexual behavior, or running away. These kids are among the most vulnerable of our community, and are often those who need help the most.

These children in need can find help here at KidsTLC. KidsTLC residential treatment is geared for children, teens and young adults who are in crisis at the moment or have a history of psychiatric instability in their home or community.
