| Residential Living |
|
In some ways the residential home at Rainbow Children’s Home is no different than that of any family. The home is a lively household with staff who make the children feel safe and at home, perhaps for the first time in their lives. Rainbow Children’s Home weaves the details of home life -- school activities, recreational outings, sports, -- into a busy daily schedule. But we never lose sight of the bigger, tougher job: helping the children in the care find the best within themselves. The staff listens to their hopes, encourages their dreams and works with them to reach their goals. For the children who need it, intensive therapy and counseling is also provided. Some children stay for a few weeks or months until it is safe for them to return to their families, live with relatives, or join a foster or adoptive family. These youth are given support, training and love as caring staff prepare them to transition into adulthood.
