Youth Villages Group Homes
Youth Villages operates group homes in Georgia and Tennessee to allow young people to receive mental health support while they learn to live successfully in the community:
- Binkley Group Home (Nashville, boys 13-15)
- Brunswick Group Home (Memphis, boys 14-up)
- Coteswood Group Home (Memphis, boys 13-15)
- Paidia’s Place Group Home (Memphis, girls 14-up)
- Tallwood Group Home (Nashville, boys 15-up)
- Wallace Group Home (Nashville, girls 14-up)
Since 1997, Youth Villages’ group homes have helped children learn life and independent living skills. Older children are taught how to budget, shop for groceries, cook meals, use the public transportation system, and, in some cases, hold down a job.
Programs focus on healthy living and problem solving.
Youth in the Nashville group homes attend public schools. In the Memphis-area group homes, some youth attend school on a Youth Villages residential campus and others attend public schools.
Additionally, the children participate in outings, such as skating, bowling, swimming and visits to museums and other attractions.

Now, at 26 years old, D’Kerio stands by the tools and skills he learned from his counselors. He recently graduated from college with a degree in social work and is planning to help other young people find their own path to hope and healing.
