The campus offers full-time residential care, individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and co-occurring disorders support for youth ages 11 to 24 who have experienced trauma, neglect or instability.

Rooted in a mission of whole-person healing since 1887, Mercy Home creates a safe, structured, home-like setting where young women can recover, learn and grow.

Residential Trauma and Recovery Care for Young Women

The Walsh Girls Campus provides 24/7 residential care designed specifically for girls and young women navigating trauma, emotional and behavioral challenges and co-occurring concerns.

Dormitory-style housing is organized by age across four programs, fostering a sisterhood focused community.

Every resident receives individual and group therapy at least weekly, supplemented by cognitive behavioral therapy, grief groups, music and art therapy and therapeutic yoga.

Treatment addresses root causes of trauma while building daily coping skills, with family engagement woven in to support whole-family healing.

Beyond clinical care, the campus integrates academic tutoring, spiritual development, extracurriculars and vocational resources to prepare residents for lasting independence.

Amenities include a learning center, fitness center, craft cottage, gardens and outdoor recreation areas that support healing in a tranquil South Side setting.
