Mission Statement
Dover Children's Home provides tools and support for youth to heal from emotional trauma through community-based treatment programs that foster relationships and enable youth to create hope for the future.
About This Cause
Dover Children’s Home is an intermediate-level, residential treatment program, offering a wide-array of life-enhancing services to NH’s most vulnerable children. Licensed to provide treatment for up to 19 boys and girls, ages 10-20, Dover Children’s Home offers several types of programming including short-term stays, respite, emergency beds, independent living programming in an apartment setting, and extended treatment. Dover Children’s Home provides a structured living environment in which children are encouraged to develop and utilize alternative, appropriate behaviors; develop healthier community connections; and further enhance daily living and independent living skills. The team of Adolescent Counselors provides experiences throughout each day to enhance the normal social, emotional, and educational development of each child through group therapy sessions; peer accountability meetings; planful visitation with supportive interventions; tutoring; recreational and therapeutic activities; behavior management techniques; individual treatment plans; independent living classes; and the coordination of individual, family, and specialized counseling. The treatment program is designed to offer privileges and responsibilities that can be earned daily. Community-based hobbies such as music lessons, athletics, employment, and volunteering are encouraged for each child at the Home. The agency also works with children who are pursuing or have obtained a GED; youth who work during the day; and children enrolled in vocational programs or college courses. The PILOT House program provides rehabilitative and restorative services for youth ages 16-20, including individual and peer counseling; academic guidance; outreach case management; career guidance and employment opportunities; monthly progress reports; budget management; and health and dental services. The PILOT House provides opportunities for tenants to begin adjusting to adulthood by learning to balance work, home responsibilities, and education. The program also focuses on helping tenants develop good judgment around issues such as drug use, relationships, school attendance, and anger management. The PILOT House is a 3-bedroom apartment in a separate building on the grounds of DCH, allowing youth to practice critical life skills and gain invaluable experience living independently while in a safe, supportive environment.
