A clean, verified profile with contacts and key program details.
This CHOR location supports youth facing emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, and trauma. Located near downtown Reading, Pennsylvania, just minutes from Santander Arena and City Park, the center is easily accessible by public transit and offers ample parking. It provides residential, psychiatric, and transitional care for young people ages 10–20 in a campus-style setting. The center uses a trauma-informed approach based on the Sanctuary Model, which focuses on emotional safety and healing. Therapies include individual and family counseling, clinical and life skills groups, and evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and allied therapies. These help teens build healthy coping skills, explore difficult emotions, and grow stronger relationships with their families and peers. In addition to therapy, CHOR offers on-site education at Centre Avenue Academy, featuring smart tech classrooms and personalized learning. Youth participate in art, music, and gym, plus family-inclusive events and optional spiritual services. With a point-based behavior system and support programs like Child Preparation and Post Permanency, young people gain structure, confidence, and support as they prepare for lasting growth beyond treatment.
