 The Plummer Home for Boys is a private, nonprofit entity that has existed for over 150 years, providing services for adolescent and young adult males from throughout the Northshore, who have a history of abuse and neglect and/or struggling with managing their behaviors.

Plummer provides services to these older boys and young men through three major programs: a Group Home, a Pre-Independent Living Program, and a Family Partner Program.  The mission of Plummer Home is to provide children at risk safety, nuturance, and stimulation that support their success in leading fulfilling lives.  It is our belief that this supportive environment will enable optimal growth and individual development for each boy, and where possible, return him to a family setting or assist him in preparation for more independent living.  Most importantly, the Home works to instill in each boy a sense of hope and confidence to learn more adaptive behaviors and to develop greater self-esteem.

 

Individual Treatment Plans

Plummer Home develops individual treatment plans for each resident that address the needs of the resident and his family.  Plummer Home offers a structured daily schedule, independent living skills groups, group therapy, and a strong behavior management program.

 

Additional Services


In addition to services offered internally, the Plummer Home works closely with Children’s Friend and Family Services of Salem, MA to provide individual and family therapy. Psychiatric Associates of Lynn, PC provides psychopharmacology services to the residents of Plummer Home and the Center for Addictive Behavior is available for individual substance abuse needs. The Plummer Home works closely with the Salem Public Schools to ensure that all residents educational needs are being addressed.
