Helping Abused & Neglected Youth Find Safety & Healing
Providing Trauma-Informed Treatment for Youth
The YES Home is a residential group home dedicated to providing a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for youth ages 12-20 who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We offer both long-term care and emergency shelter, ensuring that every young person who walks through our doors has the stability and support they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
Who We Serve
We welcome youth from Southeastern Indiana and beyond, providing them with a place where they can maintain important school and community connections. Our mission is to offer them not only shelter but also guidance, mentorship, and evidence-based treatment to help them heal and thrive.
A Community of Care
The YES Home is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, meaning your support directly impacts the lives of the young people we serve. As a proud member of the Indiana Association of Resources and Child Advocacy (IARCA) and the Dearborn and Ripley County Chambers of Commerce, we are deeply committed to advocating for youth and strengthening our community.
Our Historic Home
Located in a historic 1882 building, once known as The Poor Farm, our home carries a legacy of care and service. Listed on the National Historic Landmark Registry, it stands as a testament to our commitment to providing a welcoming, secure space for the youth who need it most.
How You Can Help
Your support makes our work possible. Whether through volunteering, donations, sponsorships, or advocacy, you can be a part of the YES Home’s mission to provide hope and stability to vulnerable youth.
