Core offering

Windwood Family Services provides residential therapeutic treatment and community-based family preservation services for at-risk children and families in South Carolina's Lowcountry region. The organization operates a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) and Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) on a 110-acre campus in Awendaw, SC, serving boys ages 6-16 in state custody with trauma, behavioral, and psychiatric needs. Additionally, the Family Resource Connection and Preservation Services (FRCPS) program delivers in-home interventions, case management, and resource referrals to at-risk families across Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.

Product overview

Windwood Family Services operates a single unified offering comprised of two residential programs and one community-based family services program. The residential programs include the Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) serving up to 12 boys ages 6-16 with intensive psychiatric care, and the Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) also serving boys ages 6-16 with therapeutic interventions. The Family Resource Connection and Preservation Services (FRCPS) is a community-based prevention program serving families at risk of abuse and neglect in the Charleston tri-county area. These programs are designed to work together to provide a continuum of care from residential treatment through family preservation.
