For more than 130 years Mars Home for Youth (MHY) has been evolving to meet the needs of at-risk youth and families.
Today, Mars Home for Youth (MHY) is committed to providing a sanctuary to help youth (ages 9-18) heal and cope with psychological and social traumatic experiences. Through the implementation of Sanctuary Model for Trauma Informed Organizations*, MHY provides a safe and connected community for clients and staff to actively engage in treatment and programming that encourage healthy recovery, healing and growth for clients.
Mars Home for Youth is a Sanctuary Certified & CARF accredited facility
* The Sanctuary Model represents a comprehensive trauma-informed method for creating or changing an organizational culture in order to provide a cohesive context within which healing from psychological and social traumatic experience can be addressed.
