Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Home's annual Family Fun Day & Back-to-School Event, hosted by the Parent Support Program! We loved celebrating with more than 200 local children and families as they get ready to kick off a new school year. 💙

Our Parent Support Program does an incredible job each summer bringing community resources together to help kids feel more excited and equipped for back-to-school time. Attendees enjoyed lunch, games and activities, and picked out new backpacks, school supplies and clothing to feel their very best for class.

We appreciate every family who came out, our community partners and all who made the day possible! 🎉📚

One in five U.S. children has a mental health disorder, but few receive the support they need due to high barriers to care. The Home is breaking those barriers by bringing services directly to kids with in-school therapeutic care.

Consistent care kids can count on is life-changing for youth like Byron. Byron once struggled to focus on school and connect with his classmates due to ADHD and anxiety. But we believe that every child can learn and thrive with the right support—and that’s exactly what happened with Byron. In-school therapy helped him manage big emotions, trust others and improve in school.

A strong start, with the right support, changes everything, and it’s possible because of people like you. Please consider a special back-to-school gift to The Home to help us reach more kids like Byron and deliver the quality care they need to succeed!

Congratulations to The Home’s Falmouth Road Race Team! 🏃‍♀️

We're so proud of our running crew for completing this year’s race while raising critical funds to support The Home’s programs and services. Sunday was a sunny showcase of support for our youth, with new and returning runners, one of our own staff, and a member of The Home's Board of Directors coming together to help make better, brighter futures possible.

Thank you, team, for going the distance and showing your dedication to our kids every step of the way! 💙

Thanks to all who stopped by to chat with our team at last week’s New Hampshire DCYF Youth Summit in Concord! 🌻

It was a wonderful day of youth-led activities, workshops and highlights for The Home: a former youth in care delivered the keynote, Unity House Program Director Sarah Marek received the Exemplary Leadership Award and a member of The Home's Hillsborough Village took first place in the talent show!

We are so proud of our NH youth and staff, and appreciate the opportunity to share resources with young people in our community. 💚

Last month, The Home’s Program for Assertive Community Treatment of Youth (PACT-Y) hosted its first Summer Kickoff event, which brought together youth, families and staff for a day of relaxation and connection.

PACT-Y serves youth experiencing the most challenging, persistent mental and behavioral health needs. When other community-based services and interventions have not been successful, families turn to PACT-Y, where they receive the collective care of our multidisciplinary team.

With a delicious barbeque, music, games and other fun activities, families and staff had the opportunity to bond outside of their typical appointments and services. It was a wonderful event and marked the beginning of what we hope will become an annual tradition for PACT-Y families!

At The Home’s COVE School, Vocational Instructor Courtney Maloney helps students develop new independence and confidence through a dynamic life skills curriculum. This summer, she’s taking her commitment to her kids beyond the classroom, by running the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race to benefit The Home.

Located in Plymouth, The COVE School serves students who have experienced challenges in traditional school placements. Courtney takes pride in being part of a team that empowers youth with hands-on, strengths-based learning, and credits The COVE School's close-knit community for making their growth possible.

We are honored to be represented by Courtney on August 16, when she takes to the Cape to raise awareness for The Home’s critical programs and services.

The Home for Little Wanderers has welcomed The O'Connell House, a nationally recognized residential program providing trauma-informed care for women who have survived human trafficking, to our range of critical programs and services.

The O'Connell House is one of the few safe houses in the U.S. that enables women—many of whom are pregnant or raising young children—to remain with their children while receiving care.

By bringing together The O’Connell House’s innovative model of residential care with The Home’s extensive expertise in behavioral health, child welfare, family services and organizational support, this partnership creates opportunities to strengthen services and help more families build better, brighter futures.
