Rosemary Gallagher Children’s Home

The Rosemary Gallagher Children’s Home provides a therapeutic home for children ages four to 12 who have experienced early childhood trauma, including abuse, neglect, exposure to family violence, multiple moves away from their birth families, or periods of homelessness. When they walk through our doors, they bring stories of survival and resilience, along with a deep need for safety, stability, and care.

At the Gallagher Children’s Home, children experience relationship-based care that respects who they are and what they have endured. Our relational developmental approach centers on one simple truth: healing happens through healthy, trusting, and consistent relationships. Every day, we surround children with safe adults who can gently rebuild their sense of security, predictability, and belonging.

Families remain a vital part of the work whenever it is appropriate and safe. When children cannot return home, we partner closely with the child’s team to support kinship, foster, or adoptive placements that can provide long-term stability, connection, and love.

Everything we do is designed to help children feel safe in the world again—safe enough to explore, connect, learn, and grow. We help children build strong, healthy relationships; develop trust in the care of adults; strengthen their ability to regulate emotions; and nurture a positive, sturdy sense of self.
