About Cathedral Home Services For Youth and Families
Cathedral Home Services for Youth and Families is a Wyoming nonprofit behavioral health organization based in Laramie, providing residential treatment, counseling and community based supports for youth and families.
The team delivers trauma informed care, CBT, motivational interviewing and substance use counseling for adolescents facing mental health challenges, co-occurring disorders and the effects of past trauma.
Serving Wyoming youth since 1910, Cathedral Home emphasizes connection, consistency and co-regulation to help young people heal and thrive.
Residential Treatment for Adolescents
Cathedral Home's core specialty is residential treatment for youth ages 12 to 17 with complex behavioral health needs.
The structured, trauma responsive program integrates individual, family and group therapy with an on campus accredited school through the Mae Olson Education Center.
Treatment notably avoids point systems, lockdowns and seclusion, focusing instead on relationship based care and skill building.
Teens engage in experiential therapies like equine assisted psychotherapy, mountain biking, hiking and community volunteering. Former clients describe the program as life changing, highlighting caring staff, a sense of family and a safe environment.
Family Support and Rural Access
Beyond residential care, Cathedral Home offers outpatient counseling, telehealth and crisis intervention, parent education and transition and aftercare services.
This community focused approach extends support to rural families across Wyoming, with case management, social skills training and healthcare navigation helping youth and families build lasting stability.
Getting Started
Cathedral Home serves youth and families in Laramie and across Wyoming, with residential placement also open to youth from surrounding states like Nebraska and South Dakota, plus telehealth counseling options.
Residential placement is typically funded through courts, school districts or other out of home placement sources, while outpatient services may accept Medicaid, private insurance, self pay or financial assistance.
