At this center, you receive personalized care for mental health conditions. They provide therapy and tailor treatment to your unique needs, diagnoses, and preferences.

Independent Living at George Street is a program of Children’s Home of York, serving dependent and delinquent males ages 15 to 21 who need guidance in becoming responsible, independent adult. Designed for youth who have completed other treatments but aren’t ready to return home, this community-based program uses Sanctuary principles to promote healing, responsibility, and long-term independence. Each youth receives an individualized service plan based on a Casey Life Skills Assessment. With help from caring staff, residents set goals and work on life skills like managing money, cooking, applying for jobs, resolving conflict, and using public transportation. Through hands-on learning, therapy, and support, participants build self-confidence and tools for a successful future. Residents live in a structured, home-like environment where they share daily responsibilities and practice independent living. Support includes access to treatment and prevention services, staff guidance, and real-life experiences that prepare youth to thrive beyond the program. It is a place where growth, healing, and new beginnings take shape every day.
