“Established in 1926, whaley children's center is a private residential treatment facility serving children from all over michigan. Whaley cares for and provides treatment for young children who have survived moderate to extreme neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. In addition, children have survived domestic violence, substance abuse, and witnessed extreme violence. With the average age of children being 11 years old, whaley is one of the few facilities that takes children as young as 5 years old. Our services include residential care, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, life skills, social skills, educational services, after care support and mentoring. Whaley provides evidence based treatment including trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, the sanctuary model, collaborative problem solving, and the circle of courage. Through the intensive 3:1 support that whaley provides, which is amongst the highest in the state of michigan, whaley has a 75 percent success rate of children leaving to families, armed with the tools and skills to become principled young adults. In 2015, whaley provided 11,287 days of care to our resident children.”
