Welcome to hallmark youthcare
Richmond's Residential Treatment Center For Youth
Hallmark Youthcare was founded in 1976. Originally called Psychiatric Institute of Richmond, located in the Highland Park area of Richmond, it was a Treatment Center/Special Education Program serving children, adolescents, and adult patients. In 1992, the residential program expanded to 50 beds and moved to its current setting in Goochland County, Virginia. Purchased by Hallmark Systems in April 1995, Hallmark Youthcare expanded to 84 beds and focused solely on adolescent residential treatment and assessment and diagnostic services

Working at Hallmark has provided me unlimited opportunities to be a part of changing lives. Witnessing a resident come in at the height of their crisis, and walking with them through their journey of healing has been rewarding. In addition being able to grow into a program coordinator, and completing growing a new program and watching it take off, has given me purpose and reason to come to work each day. My girls have by far, taught me more than I could teach them about life. Working with this population is not always easy, but when I discharge a resident, and reflect back on where they started and where they ended, it makes all the hard days worth it.

I have only been here for a year and can tell you that there are significant differences between where I came from and here. Here at Hallmark the staff are trying to practice what they teach. We all have plans to refer to in times of stress just as we teach the residents to have. We state how we, as staff, are feeling and what we each have for a goal for the day at shift change and during the beginning of any meeting. Randomly we are asked what we plan to do for ourselves that week. We are encouraged to have self improvement. It’s nice to work in an environment where you feel heard. I have voiced ideas and although not all have been accepted, they were heard and not ignored. I’m glad I came to work here.

I teach high school science at Hallmark. I like teaching here because of the small class sizes and the individual attention that the teachers and paraprofessionals can give to the students. The small classes help make the school environment more conducive to learning.

What keeps me coming back to work at Hallmark is being able to see the change in the young men that I work with. Seeing them grow into young adults who are ready to return to their communities and break the cycle of sexual abuse.
