    • Cailloux Center for Adult Learning in Ingram, TX

Consistency is Key

Many children and young adults who are healing from trauma and abuse require a level of mental or behavioral health support that is more easily provided in a congregate setting, like the Hill Country Youth Ranches. A consistent support system lowers the risk of our residents being trafficked, homeless, incarcerated, etc., once they leave our care.

Our commitment to therapeutic and educational success, in combination with traditional family life, helps our youth on their way to stability, graduation, and adulthood. Through our highly effective care model and dedicated team, HCYR is unmatched when comes to creating positive impact and breaking cycles of abuse for children and young adults.
