Serving over 1,200 children a year, CRH operates the only emergency shelter for abused children in the Sacramento region.
How we help:
Children’s Receiving Home has a long history of providing quality emergency shelter for the area’s abused and neglected children. The facility is licensed annually by the State Department of Social Services and is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year for the admission of children and youth between the ages of 1 and 18.
Children are in crisis when they are admitted to this facility, and our objective is to be as supportive and constructive as possible during their stay. We also assist with transitional and aftercare services to promote better placement outcomes and more enduring reconnection to families and community.
Besides providing children food, shelter and clothing Children’s Receiving Home offers a variety of programs that deliver comprehensive care.
Recognizing the lack of dedicated services to assist the transition-age population, the Children’s Receiving Home designed Independent Living Services (ILS) to serve youth who will soon emancipate from the foster care system. Now with new-found life skills and self confidence our transition-age youth will be ready to face the challenges life will bring.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth 15 to 24 years old.
Supporting Community Connections, or SCC, is a suicide prevention outreach program for transitional aged youth (TAY) in the foster, homeless, and LGBTQ communities. The program seeks to prevent suicide by offering connections and links to housing opportunities, mental health services, women’s health providers, LGBTQ resources, and other social services to transition aged youth.
The Post Hospitalization Program provides treatment in a day setting to youth with depressive disorders, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, unresolved issues of grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic disorders, and other behavioral health disorders. Services also may address issues associated with chemical dependency, recovery and relapse prevention.
CRH integrates clinical expertise, client values and the best research evidence into the decision making for client care. Our staff stay current on their skills and training in order to make a positive impact on the lives of our children.
