OYFP Partner Profile: Italian Home for Children

The Italian Home is a residential and day treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children of all races, nationalities and religions. The Home has a maximum capacity of 61 children in two residential programs, an additional 32 children in the therapeutic day program, and 18 children in the East Freetown, MA group home. All children, boys and girls, range in age from 4 to 14 years old. The Italian Home for Children specializes in the assessment and treatment of a variety of behavioral and mental health concerns. All of the services provided by the Italian Home for Children are directed toward our primary goal: the reunification of the children with their own or alternative families and/or the preservation of families at risk.

In the fall of 2005, after several years of hard work, the Italian Home received notification that they had been nationally accredited by the Council On Accreditation (COA). COA accreditation attests that an organization meets the highest national standards and is delivering the best quality care to the community it serves.
