Murphy-Harpst Children's Centers

September is National Recovery Month which brings awareness to those recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. At Murphy-Harpst, through our CORE Services, we have providers that care for residents who may benefit from substance abuse counseling. We'd like to take a moment to remind you to encourage youth (and yourselves) to participate in caring for your whole health in wellness through healthy eating, exercise, and taking time to recuperate when overwhelmed and overstimulated. 💙 💜

As we continue to celebrate and reflect on our 100th year, we are honoring where our legacy began. In 1984, the Harpst Home and the Murphy Home merged to create a life time of care, making room for the most vulnerable children across the state. Learn all about our history of hope and healing established by Ethel Harpst and Sarah Murphy. https://loom.ly/RqJRoPE

Murphy-Harpst residents are provided with a variety of individual, group and family therapy services according to the child’s level or trauma and specific behavioral or mental issues, alongside other CORE services. A combination of evidence-based therapy and time-tested care and mentorship from our staff allows children to learn to cope with the circumstances and trauma that brought them to us. Murphy-Harpst CORE ideas help our residents move forward toward a future full of hope and possibility. Learn more about our CORE services here ➡️ https://loom.ly/BRU1_ic

There are approximately 11,000 children in Georgia’s foster care system. There is a home available for only one-third of them. Murphy-Harpst is working to change this. Thank you to the News Team at WJBF for covering our efforts with Evolve Program. Our Evolve initiative program is working to create homes for foster children to address the shortage and provide them with skills to help them transition into the community. We partner with local communities and government agencies to open “Evolve homes” in local communities across the state.

Each home supports 4-5 children with two pairs of trained foster parents rotating working two weeks in the home, then two weeks off to provide stability to the children and balance for the parents. The program provides in-home therapeutic services through a full-time behavioral therapist, case manager, and part-time mental health therapist. The target timeframe for treatment is 9-12 months.

Murphy-Harpst helps severely neglected and abused children heal and thrive. We provide a safe, supportive environment to lay the groundwork for their healthy future. Many of our children are behind in school. At York-Harpst Academy, our school on campus, our teachers and para-pros work with therapists to create individualized education plans to help them catch up. Older residents can access GED programs, colleges, and trade schools in the community. Many of our residents arrive without any school supplies.
