At Cunningham Children’s Home, a community converges to give hope to those who need it most—youth who suffer from serious emotional and behavioral challenges that have been caused by abuse, neglect, mental illness, and more. Through comprehensive programs and services, Cunningham provides expert care to help our kids learn positive coping and behavioral skills, achieve realistic academic goals, and develop the life skills necessary to be successful in our community.

Cunningham provides caring support and therapeutic intervention to 350 young adults and their families each year.

As a National Mission Institution, Cunningham has a covenant relationship with the United Methodist Women National Office.
