Italian Home for Children - Jamaica Plain

In a nurturing environment focused on healing informed by trauma, this center provides assistance to children aged 3-21 who are dealing with autism, mood disorders, trauma, and behavioral issues. The center offers a variety of programs, including home and school services, partial hospitalization (PHP), and residential care that features crisis stabilization and therapeutic summer camps. Throughout their journey, children benefit from ongoing support that encourages emotional growth, family reconnection, and a return to academic and community life with enhanced self-assurance. The skilled therapists utilize proven methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), applied behavioral analysis (ABA), and expressive arts to help children develop emotional regulation, communication, and social competencies. Young clients participate in mindfulness practices, skill-building sessions, therapeutic reading, and creative play opportunities. Individual, family, and group therapy enable children to process their feelings and adopt new coping strategies. Additional services, including mentoring, nursing assistance, and behavioral coaching, provide families with essential resources for success at home, school, and in the community. The center features inviting, calming environments tailored for children, equipped with sensory tools, art stations, and sand tray rooms. Outdoor activities encompass swimming, sports, and playground fun, while field trips and nature excursions promote practical skill development. Throughout the year, after-school and vacation programs provide daily meals, structured enrichment activities, and academic assistance. The residential care option includes 24/7 supervision with both short- and long-term placements within a campus-style atmosphere that prioritizes safety, stability, and support.
