Cory Richardson-Lauve's Company Details
Since our inception in 1846, Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) has helped thousands of children with emotional and behavioral health needs from across Virginia. Because most of the children we serve have faced some sort of trauma in their young lives, they often have social, emotional, behavioral, and academic barriers to succeeding. We offer three services: 1) residential group homes, 2) a K-12 specialied school called the John G. Wood School, and 3) a therapeutic resource center. Our approach involves a family atmosphere which is important to helping kids heal and grow to become successful adults. VHBG is the only certified Teaching-Family Model site in the Commonwealth of Virginia.Nestled in a park-like setting, our 30+ acre campus includes a chapel, fellowship hall, and recreational facilities (a gymnasium, playing fields, outdoor swimming pool, an indoor recreation room with weight equipment and game tables). Whether the child lives on campus or just spends the day time with us, VHBG looks and feels like the neighborhood you'd want to live in.
