Who We Are

For more than 75 years, Christ Child House has been a source of healing and hope for children and families impacted by trauma, abuse and neglect. Owned and operated by Christ Child Society of Detroit, we are a nonprofit organization guided by the belief that it is never too late to have a happy childhood. Every day, we help children build the safety, stability and connections they need to thrive.

What We Do

Residential Treatment

Christ Child House is a trauma-informed residential treatment center for boys ages 6 to 16. We are, first and foremost, a home, where the children in our care become like family. As a Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) and Mental Health Behavioral Stabilization Program (MHBS), we provide intensive, individualized services tailored to each child’s unique emotional, behavioral and mental health needs.

Foster Care

Christ Child Detroit Foster Care is a state-licensed and nationally accredited program that trains, licenses and supports foster families who open their hearts and homes to children in need of stability, healing and hope. Whenever possible, we work toward reunifying children with their families. Through our holistic, trauma-informed approach, we empower children and families alike to build stronger connections and brighter futures.

Why It Matters

Childhood trauma can have lasting effects on a child's emotional well-being, relationships and ability to succeed in school and life. Through residential treatment and foster care, Christ Child House provides the stability, support and therapeutic care children need to heal, build resilience and reach their full potential.
