The Child and Family Treatment Center (CFTC) is a 24-hour residential treatment center that provides compassionate care and individualized treatment plans to young people experiencing extreme emotional challenges and complex trauma.

We understand the toll that physical abuse, neglect, and abandonment can take on a child’s emotional and mental stability. Our trauma-informed, outcomes-driven approach empowers youth to find balance, develop positive coping skills, and learn how to form healthy relationships. After joining the program, over 86% of participants successfully return to their families or find new homes to thrive in, aligning with the Family First Act. 

I am happy here because I have friends and people who care about me. Lawrence Hall means stability to me.
