This intermediate-term residence supports only 12 children at a time, allowing for personalized care. A key strength of Fisher Hall is its strong focus on helping both the child and their family heal and grow together. The program uses a team-based approach with therapists, social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists. Children benefit from individualized treatment and life skills training in a structured setting. These therapies help kids build emotional strength, learn appropriate behaviors, and prepare for success in their next placement and beyond.
