About Italian Home for Children - Jamaica Plain
Provided in a calm, caring environment shaped by trauma-informed principles, this rehabilitation center supports children ages 3–21 who face autism, mood disorders, trauma, and behavioral difficulties. Care is delivered through a variety of options, including in-home and school-based programming, partial hospitalization (PHP), and residential services. These may include crisis stabilization and a therapeutic summer camp. As children transition between programs, they receive ongoing guidance aimed at strengthening emotional growth, improving family connections, and helping them return to school and community life with more confidence.
Therapists rely on proven treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), applied behavioral analysis (ABA), and expressive arts to support emotional regulation, communication, and social development. Sessions may include mindfulness activities, structured skill groups, therapeutic reading, and creative play. Individual, group, and family therapy are used to help children understand and manage difficult feelings while practicing healthier responses. Additional support such as mentoring, nursing services, and behavioral coaching helps children and their families gain practical strategies to succeed at home, at school, and beyond.
The center offers child-focused, soothing spaces equipped with sensory tools, art areas, and a sand tray room. Outdoor programming includes pool time, sports, and playground activities, and community outings like field trips and nature walks encourage real-life skill practice. Throughout the year, after-school and vacation programs provide daily meals, consistent structure, and academic assistance. For residential care, 24/7 staffing is available, with short- or long-term options in a campus-style setting designed to feel secure, steady, and encouraging.
