Childhelp Usa Alice Tyler Village Of Childhelp Lignum

Nestled on a 270-acre horse farm in rural Virginia, the Alice C. Tyler Village of Childhelp is a nonprofit psychiatric residential treatment facility serving children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 14. The Village provides specialized care for young people who have experienced trauma, neglect, psychiatric disorders, or neurodevelopmental challenges. Children live in home-like cottages grouped by age and gender, creating a structured yet nurturing environment. The facility offers a rich array of therapeutic approaches, including equine therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and occupational therapy, all designed to support emotional healing and social development. Education remains a priority through the Village Academy, which provides individualized learning programs aligned with Virginia's educational standards. Children also benefit from recreational activities such as horseback riding, hiking, team sports, and swimming. A board-certified child psychiatrist leads a multidisciplinary team that addresses each child's physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs, with optional spiritual support available from a full-time chaplain. The Village accepts Medicaid from several states, TRICARE, and most private insurance plans, working toward the ultimate goal of helping children overcome challenges and successfully return to supportive family environments or communities.
