About Us

Richmeier Therapeutic Home created and implemented The Torchbearing Initiative that is rooted in The Teaching Family Model. Our Ohio Department of Children and Youth (DCY) licensed group homes are community-based programs that are able to service high-risk boys (typically ages 10-19) with severe emotional and behavioral issues, within a family style setting. Our 24-hour monitored supervision, social skills instruction, personal relationships, and motivational systems all work together as we house our youth within a neighborhood, allowing them to attend public schools and learn to function in the community. Many of our youth could only be cared for in a more restrictive residential setting prior to coming to our program.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Richmeier Therapeutic Home, is to operate high quality community based group homes for at risk youth using the Teaching-Family Model as a guide for programming and training of Teaching-Parents and staff in the home while promoting Christian family values and high ethical and moral standards in a family style setting.
