About Alice C. Tyler Village of Childhelp
The Alice C. Tyler Village of Childhelp, situated on a 270-acre horse farm in rural Virginia, is a nonprofit psychiatric residential treatment facility dedicated to children and adolescents aged 5 to 14. The Village specializes in helping individuals who have experienced mild to severe trauma, neglect, psychiatric disorders, or neurodevelopmental challenges. It provides residential care in home-like cottages, with children separated by gender and age.
The Village offers specialized therapies, including equine therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and occupational therapy, to support emotional and social development. Educational services are also a priority, with the Village Academy delivering tailored learning programs aligned with Virginia’s Standards of Learning and offering related services like speech and language therapy. Recreational activities such as horseback riding, hiking, team sports, and swimming contribute to holistic development, while a full-time chaplain provides voluntary spiritual support.
A multidisciplinary team, led by a board-certified child psychiatrist, ensures comprehensive care that addresses the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of each child. The Village’s approach aims to help children overcome obstacles and reintegrate into nurturing homes and communities. The facility accepts Medicaid from several states, TRICARE, and most private insurance plans. Families are encouraged to tour the campus to determine its suitability for their child.
