our clients in comfortable residential-type settings. It is our ultimate goal to continue to meet the needs of those individuals entrusted to our care.Each CLA and CRR has a full complement of staff specifically tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.In 1995, the Institute received an adoption license and has since affiliated itself with the StateWide Adoption Network (“SWAN”) program.

All children and youth deserve to feel safe, supported, and surrounded by people who believe in them. During National Foster Care Month, we honor the strength of the children and teens in foster care, the families who open their homes and hearts, and the professionals and community members who stand beside them every day. This month, we invite all Pennsylvanians to help ensure that every young person in our Commonwealth can build lifelong connections, experience unconditional support, and know they have a safe, nurturing place to call home.

There are so many meaningful ways to make a difference, becoming a foster parent, mentoring a young person, offering support to foster families, or simply spreading awareness. Every act of care helps create the stability and love that children and teens need to thrive.
