Our Charitable Partners:

At any given time, approximately 5,000 children in Connecticut are in need of protective care because of abuse or neglect. Their stories are all unique and detail a myriad of circumstances. We serve children whose parents have significant substance abuse problems, children who have lost their biological parents, children being raised in foster care or adoption, and others being raised in “kinship care” by relatives. We also treat children with psychiatric and behavioral issues, often byproducts of their challenging environment. Boys & Girls Village provides the essential outpatient and live-in care children need to cope with devastating circumstances.

The children and adolescents who become part of the BGV family range in age from 3-18 years old and are treated for post-traumatic stress, depression, anger management, as well as grief and loss issues.

Boys & Girls Village services encompass a broad range of professional behavioral and psychiatric “wrap around” care for traumatized children, giving them the opportunity to heal, learn and grow through therapeutic interventions and a continuum of comprehensive ongoing support. Our services include a specialized day school, outpatient clinical services, therapeutic foster care and adoption services, an emergency shelter, and a sub-acute live-in psychiatric program.

The programs at Boys & Girls Village provide a safe, nurturing, therapeutic environment for children and their families to heal, learn and grow. Our Milford campus includes a school for ages 5-14, as well as residential facilities, that provide professional 24/7 care. With satellite programs in Waterbury and Bridgeport, Boys & Girls Village is able to provide year-round counseling and age-appropriate clinical educational programs to hundreds of Connecticut’s children and families.
