Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Helping Hands
Since 2019, Bethany Childrens Home has expanded to include services for children who have crossed borders into the United States unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian. These children are transferred to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Administration for Children & Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Bethany Childrens Home, through its Helping Hands program, partners with ORR to care for these children until they are released to their family members.
At Helping Hands, children receive educational services, access to lawyers and advocates, medical and mental healthcare, recreation and case management. Last year, the team helped unify more than 300 youth with their family members.
Transitional Living Services
The TLR program is a trauma-informed, strength-based and responsive program. TLR helps young adults prepare to be living independently in the community by offering them an opportunity to work toward independence. Young adults will utilize the independent living skills they have learned previously by practicing with team members. Later they work on those same skills on their own at an appointed time. This program allows our youth to further develop and practice sustaining the following skills: Time Management/Setting Priorities, Budgeting and Money Management, Cooking/Domestic Skills, Transportation, Communication, Interpersonal, Social Skills, Decision Making/Problem-Solving, Work Skills, Collaboration, and Leadership. Navigating life events such as getting a license, buying a car, purchasing the insurance for that car, finding other ways of transport if they are not getting a car, deciding on career path or college/higher education path, engaging in community involvement and more.
Residential & Short Term
Youth in Bethany’s Residential Treatment Program and Short Term Intensive Treatment Program reside in 4 cottages on Bethany’s scenic campus. All cottages combine to offer 66 beds to male and female youth.
Residential Treatment Program is intended for youth who require support and services to obtain skills in order to move to a less structured setting. Most noteworthy, these following are services unique to the Residential Treatment Program: Life Skills for all youth 14 and older, Assistance with higher education planning, Employment and housing assistance.
The Short Term Intensive Treatment Program is a 90-day program intended for youth whose permanency goal is reunification or for youth who require intensive initial treatment services before Residential Treatment Services begin. The following are services unique to the Short Term Intensive Treatment Program: Twice weekly individual sessions, Families must commit to 12 weekly family sessions, Immediate School Placement
Shelter Care

Independent Living

Youth in the IL program receive all of the services and supports provided in the Residential Treatment Program, plus the following:
Advanced Life Skills Education and Independent Living Training
Development of a personal portfolio (birth certificate, Social Security card, etc.)
Completion of a level system working toward Transitional Living
Required educational programming, work, and/or community service hours to equal 40 hours weekly
Expectations and privileges based on level system
Outcomes are tracked
Supervised Independent Living
Supervised Independent Living Program is to provide campus or community-based apartment-style independent living services for youth who are preparing to live on their own in the community. SIL helps youth prepare for adult living and economic self-sufficiency by allowing them appropriate decision-making and financial responsibilities with ongoing supervision and supportive services. Youth are required to make progress toward completion of their educational and/or career goals, including, regular attendance and satisfactory performance in an educational program, employment in an approved job, or a combination of work and school activities.
The program offers youth an environment that includes supportive adult relationships, real world experiences and consequences, high expectations for the development of personal responsibility, and opportunities for meaningful participation in the community.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
