Who We Are

The mission of the Village Network is to promote responsible living and positive change in troubled children through partnerships with families and communities.

Since 1946, The Village Network has specialized in the treatment and care of troubled youth. Integrated programs include residential treatment, day treatment, treatment foster care and alternative school programs at multiple locations throughout Ohio. This extensive continuum of care allows youth at The Village Network to move within programs and network locations to meet changing treatment needs.

At The Village Network, the needs of each child are individually assessed and dynamic treatment plans are designed to transition youth to permanent environments.

Whether the solution is residential care, placement with a foster or adoptive family or the ability to remain at home, our treatment programs are individualized to meet the needs of youth with emotional and behavioral challenges resulting from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

The Village Network is an experienced treatment provider for post-traumatic stress, oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar, reactive attachment, ADHD, sexually reactive behavior, juvenile sexual offenders, depression, and conduct disorder, among others.

Youth diagnosed with these conditions may exhibit aggressive behavior, suffer from addictions, reject adult authority, have limited peer and social skills, and exhibit behavior that can cause self-harm.

Transforming the lives of youth in an environment safe for both the children and the community is a partnership. Without the support of the family, referring agencies and partners within the community, it would not be possible to “create positive change for responsible living.”

Incorporated in Ohio and a non-profit corporation recognized under IRS regulations as a 501c3, The Village Network is an independent, non-denominational organization. Leadership is provided by the Board of Trustees and The Village Network Corporation Board.

The Village Network is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and licensed by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Mental Health.
