DCCH Center for Children and Families was founded in 1848 as St. John's Orphan Society. For over 115 years, they served the children of Kenton County in that capacity. In the early 1960's, as Diocesan Catholic Children's Home, their mission shifted to serve emotionally troubled and at-risk youth in a residential treatment setting. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support the Residential Treatment and Behavioral Therapy for Victims of Child Abuse program.
