Bringing hope and healing to hurting youth

Young men often lack trust in the system when they arrive at Rawhide for the residential care program. And sometimes, they lack trust in the families who’ve raised them. Our positive, structured environment helps rebuild that trust—in themselves and others—by focusing on mental health, building upon personal strengths and teaching responsibility.

Residential Care Programs

Residential Treatment Program

A standard residential program for at-risk males 11 to 17 years of age with mental or behavioral health needs.

This program promotes lasting change through relationship-based treatment, education, life skills, and individualized care—centered on mental health, self-regulation, respect, healthy relationships, responsibility, and independent living.

Specialized Residential Programs

Research shows that early intervention is critical to managing and treating mental health diagnoses.

Our established Youth Co-Occurring Substance Use (Y-CSU) and Youth Sex Offender (YSO) programs utilize trauma-informed care and tailored curricula to address their specific needs and help them build healthier futures.

Our group homes support youth in developing healthier, more independent lifestyles with on-campus programs and community-based social, recreational, and educational opportunities. 

Rawhide operates two group homes. Our New London campus serves males ages 13 to 18, and our Peshtigo home partners with Marinette County to serve males and females ages 11 to 17.
