About Italian Home for Children - Jamaica Plain
In a safe, supportive setting rooted in trauma-informed care, this center helps children ages 3-21 facing autism, mood disorders, trauma, and behavioral challenges. Programs range from home and school-based services to partial hospitalization (PHP) and residential care, including crisis stabilization and therapeutic summer camp. Children receive continuous support as they move through services, helping them grow emotionally, reconnect with family, and return to school and community life with greater confidence.
Therapists use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), applied behavioral analysis (ABA), and expressive arts to build emotional regulation, communication, and social skills. Kids engage in mindfulness, skill-building groups, therapeutic reading, and creative play. Individual, group, and family therapy help children process emotions and practice new behaviors. Services like mentoring, nursing support, and behavioral coaching ensure kids and their families get the tools they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the wider world.
Children enjoy kid-friendly, calming spaces with sensory tools, art areas, and a sand tray room. Outdoor time includes pool activities, sports, and playgrounds, while field trips and nature walks foster real-world skill-building. Year-round after-school and vacation programs offer daily meals, structured enrichment, and academic support. Residential care includes 24/7 staffing and short or long-term options in a campus-style setting designed to feel safe, stable, and supportive.
