Better, Brighter Futures for Kids
About us
The Home for Little Wanderers helps build stable lives and hopeful futures for vulnerable children. Through a wide range of innovative community-based and residential programs, we ensure the emotional, social, educational and physical well-being of more than 15,000 children and families each year. These children are often society’s most at-risk, many experiencing abuse, neglect or trauma, and a disrupted family life. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals ensures that each child has safe surroundings, loving relationships and a secure path toward tomorrow. As the oldest child welfare agency in America, we have maintained this commitment for more than 200 years. Because every child deserves happiness, and no child should go through life alone.

The Home was delighted to be represented at last month’s Association of Children's Residential & Community (ACRC) Services’ annual conference by three members of our Clinical Quality and Outcomes department. Research and Data Manager Rebecca Thomas, PhD, and VP of Clinical Quality and Outcomes Mike Semel, Ph.D. shared a poster focusing youth-guided, family-driven teaming, while Senior Director of Clinical Quality and Outcomes Jessica Jackson-Yoo, LICSW, co-presented about EQ2 implementation in our congregate care settings alongside leadership from The Lionheart Foundation, The Buckeye Ranch and Lad Lake. Fantastic work, team!

Today, The Home for Little Wanderers celebrates liberation, reflects on the importance of African American history and acknowledges the ongoing work that is needed to achieve true equality and equity for all. Members of our team gathered Saturday in Franklin Park in honor of freedom and fellowship ahead of the holiday, joined by Governor Maura Healey, Senator Ed Markey, Mayor Michelle Wu and a variety of local sponsors and vendors taking part in the celebration. It was a beautiful day to commemorate the end of slavery in America, with delicious food, live music and fun! #juneteenth

Along with our commitment to finding a loving, lasting connection for every child, and providing direct care for youth and families, The Home has found that one of the greatest ways we can effect change is through advocacy, using our voice to lift up the voices of children and youth across the Northeast. This work takes us to the State House in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York, and even to our nation’s capital.

As a leader in child welfare, The Home is proud to provide programs dedicated to offering specialized services to LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Waltham House, The Home’s first residential program for LGBTQ+ youth, was among the first of its kind when it opened in 2002, and has since served as a blueprint for similar programs, including The Home’s Unity House, which welcomed its first residents this spring. For nearly six years, Clinical Director of LGBTQ+ Placement Services Michelle Berton, LMHC, has been key to Waltham House’s success. Michelle works to expand the competencies of providing care for trans youth across our agency’s group home placements, oversees Waltham House’s clinical team, coordinates mental health care and educational care, and provides direct care to individuals, groups and families. This Pride Month, we celebrate Michelle’s contributions, as well as all staff at The Home who support our LGBTQ+ youth!
