Whaley Children's Center

Whaley Children's Center Transforming Lives and Creating Futures for the kids at Whaley Children's Center since 1926.

At Whaley Children’s Center, our children come to us due to severe abuse and neglect. Through our program, we help our children build confidence and provide them a place to belong and call home. Our CARF-accredited Qualified Residential Treatment Facility, licensed with the State of Michigan, serves foster youth ages 5-17, and our Independent Living Plus program supports youth aging out of the fos

ter care system ages 16-21. With the dedication of our staff, donors, and volunteers, we empower our children to heal, grow, and thrive.

In our clinical hallway, we post messages of resilience, comfort, and strength on our Wall of Hope. This is just one more reminder to our youth and staff of the community that surrounds them and the ability they have within themselves to make change.

Mental health is not a single lesson; it is a collection of efforts towards a better way of thinking and support from those around us.

As one of our quotes reads, “It is often the small steps, not the great leaps, that bring about the most change.” - Queen Elizabeth II

Something is missing in this picture. Can you guess what?

As we dig into our past, we come across many photos of our campus. This is just one photo that leaves us grateful and in awe of our transformations.

For a century, Whaley Children's Center has adapted and expanded to meet the needs of foster youth. That is a reputation that we hold onto in recent renovations, progress, and updates. From children living in what is now our Administration Building, to 2 group homes, 3 on-campus cottages, and 2 independent living homes, our mission to support children has remained the foundation for all we do.
