Boys Town Treatment Family Homes℠

Children of all ages receive care and treatment from married couples called Family-Teachers in five homes on our 80-acre campus in Trabuco Canyon. Many of these children have suffered the trauma of abuse, neglect or abandonment, and have been removed from their homes. Often, they have serious emotional and behavioral problems. Family-Teachers and their assistants provide compassionate, effective treatment while meeting the daily needs of each child. In these single-family homes, youth form a family and learn social and independent-living skills that help them find success in school and in their community. The ultimate goal is to reunify children with their families, whenever possible. Children are referred to Treatment Family Homes^SM through contracts with state and other agencies.
