Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is a Christ-centered residential treatment and educational facility for children and their families. We help the most troubled, complex, and amazing kids by providing best-in-class psychiatric therapy and trauma-informed care, where we look kids in the eye, walk with them, and help them become their best selves. Professional staff serve boys and girls with challenging mental, emotional, and behavioral issues that are often the result of significant trauma, abuse, and neglect.
The Ranch gives children a safe place to live, learn, and heal. The residential environment at the Ranch provides a safe place for children to practice new skills and transition the learning to their community and home environment. While at the Ranch, children have 24-hour access to highly trained and qualified staff who offer compassion, discipline, direction, and modeling—teaching them the skills they need to lead productive and satisfying lives. In addition to basic living needs and psychiatric care provided in a Christ-centered environment, Ranch residents receive basic medical care, a quality education through our on-campus school, wellness and recreational opportunities, and a chance to discover their unique strengths.
