About Us

The Chase Home initially started as an orphanage, but it has evolved to meet the growing needs of youth and their families throughout NH. Today, we provide a variety of services and programs both on-site at The Chase Home and in the community to at-risk youth, 11 – 21, and their families.

Our Programs

Our programs provide at-risk youth and families in distress with comprehensive and evidence-based clinical and therapeutic support designed to help them build tangible life skills. When applicable and clinically needed, we provide supervision and access to public school education, specialized social services, behavioral management, crisis intervention, vocation, recreation, family services, medication monitoring and more.
