About Childrens Home Society of SD
The Children’s Home Society of South Dakota - Sioux Falls Children's Home offers tailored residential care for children ages 4 to 14 who are dealing with abuse, trauma, neglect, and emotional or behavioral challenges. Services are delivered in a comfortable, home-like setting, with professional support focused on both emotional well-being and educational development.
The center uses a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet each child’s specific needs. Children can benefit from individual and group counseling to express experiences and emotions, while family therapy works to strengthen communication and relationships with parents or guardians. The program also includes psychiatric support, such as assessments and medication management. With its whole-child philosophy, the home supports healing while building practical skills for long-term success.
The Sioux Falls Children's Home provides a stable and nurturing place for children to recover and grow through residential treatment, which includes access to school, therapy, and structured activities.
