We offer a respectable and warm environment for all individuals to receive support and assistance with a variety of issues and problems.

As a result of the success that we have experienced and respect that we have earned for the services we provide throughout Virginia, Braley & Thompson was purchased by ResCare in 2007. Braley & Thompson is proud to now be part of one of the nation’s most recognized and respected healthcare syndicates, with significant expertise, resources, and representation amongst healthcare and human services organizations across the country.

We provide a one-stop, complete evaluation. Our partnerships with our kids, their caregivers, and all local support agencies enable us to provide therapeutic treatment and mentoring, as well as prescriptive educational support.

We Offer Evidence-Based Trauma Informed Care and Treatment
All of the Braley & Thompson staff, as well as our foster parents, are trained in the ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency) model of evidence-based trauma informed treatment. Our staff members are regularly provided with ongoing training in this model for all levels of treatment services that ResCare provides.
