“When orphanages transitioned out of the United States into more in-home care, our agency evolved to meet the needs of youth and families. Today as we stand as NewPath Child and Family Solutions, we have a line of service provisions that help children who are recovering from trauma of some capacity.

We have a ton of different service provisions. We run a day treatment program —a school in Cincinnati for kids who have exhausted all options in a traditional school setting. They come to school with us, and we layer their day with therapy and education, managing their Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Our school currently has about 80 students enrolled, serving kids from first grade through senior year.

On average, before kids get admitted into our residential program, they have had, on average, about seven field home placements — meaning they’ve been removed from their own home, attempted to be placed into foster care settings or group homes. The idea is that we can help them stabilize so they can have a successful placement. Sometimes, with a combination of family therapy, we’re able to place them back with their families. NewPath is a chapter, not the end. The goal is always to help kids step down to a better continuum of care.”
