What We Do

Providing Exceptional Care For Those Who Need it Most

For over 125 years, Hephzibah has been providing life-changing programs and services to children and families in need. Every child, and every family we serve is unique with different needs. We work hard to tailor our services and treatment for each individual, so that they may heal, transform and grow in our care.

Our transformative work includes a residential treatment program for neglected and abused children, comprehensive services for children and families in crisis, foster care and foster parent licensing, positive parenting programs and nurturing after school care and summer camp for working families.
