theVillage 1877

TheVillage has merged with Silver Springs - Martin Luther School, and the new combined organization is Gemma Services (full brand release set for early 2020). Gemma Services is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing behavioral health, child welfare, and educational services for at-risk children, youth, and families who are experiencing significant emotional and behavioral difficulties. As a combined organization, Gemma Services (previously theVillage + Silver Springs), we will assist approximately 5,000 children, youth, and families each year to heal from trauma, learn skills to build resilience, and reach for brighter futures. To learn more, please visit www.silver-springs.org or village1877.org. We reach the most vulnerable children and families in our communities, delivering outcome-focused assistance from a basis of trust, compassion, commitment, and faith. We work with our clients to focus on the future – articulating the goal and defining the specific steps needed to traverse one’s personal journey to stability and wholeness. We are persistent in the face of major challenges, assisting our clients to overcome trauma, despair, hopelessness, and a spectrum of challenges arising from poverty, mental illness, addiction, abuse, and other significant obstacles. We represent hope and healing, organized around cutting edge best practices in collaboration with individuals, families, and communities. We are a community of professionals that makes a difference in people’s lives and offer a safe haven for vulnerable youth.
