At Oakland County Children’s Village, we believe every young person has the capacity to grow, learn, and succeed.

Children’s Village offers a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment for youth that includes secure detention, residential treatment, shelter care, and non-residential day services. Within these settings, residents have opportunities to strengthen their skills, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of navigating challenges.

Our programs are designed not only to support youth while they are with us, but also to prepare them for the future. By working closely with families and community partners, Children’s Village helps ensure that young people return to their schools and communities better equipped to make positive choices and succeed than when they first arrived.
