Mission Statement

Wediko Childrenâ€™s Services is a non-profit organization committed to improving childrenâ€™s lives. Using a strength-based approach, Wediko responds to the needs of children who face repeated obstacles to development due to emotional, behavioral, environmental, and learning issues. Through a continuum of flexible services and multi-disciplinary training programs, Wediko develops enduring partnerships with children, families, schools, and the community. Wediko strives to capture success and restore a sense of competence and hope.

The Wediko School is a residential treatment center that offers clinical and educational services for middle- and high-school-aged boys in a safe, therapeutic, and educational environment.

Wediko clinicians work closely with the student's family and referring professional to return the child to his home and community, or to a less restrictive school, as soon as possible. We are a non-profit.

🌲 Wediko works with students who are struggling with complex psychiatric profiles and disruptive behaviors.

Often, students do not fit neatly under the criteria of a specific diagnosis or they have been diagnosed with multiple disorders, including, but not limited to, the following: * Bipolar Disorder * Depression & Mood Disorders * Anxiety Disorders * Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD or ADD) * Reactive Attachment Disorder * Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder * Asperger's Disorder - Autism Spectrum Disorder ( ASD ) * Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)

Wediko's Campus offers the true feel of New England. Located less than two hours from Boston, in Southern New Hampshire and just off the beaten path, the 450-acre lakefront campus includes a newly renovated dining hall, school buildings, dormitories, a gymnasium, biking and hiking trails, athletic fields, and tennis courts.
