Children who have suffered abuse and neglect at home have little hope of escaping the pattern of violence and psychological torment that they have lived with from the time they were born. Even if they are removed from an abusive family environment, the journey through rehabilitative services and foster care, while protecting them from violence, may compound the effects of rejection and loneliness. It is not uncommon for children to experience five or more placements before they reach their teenage years. Long-term stability is critical to breaking the cycle of abuse and healing the emotional scars resulting from years of mistreatment.

Thessalonika Family Services is dedicated to its mission of providing quality long-term care and treatment for children needing out-of-home services. Three unique programs are provided through Rancho Jireh Foster Homes, Rancho Damacitas Group Home, and the Transitional Living Program that are designed to address the varying needs of these very special young people.
