At Pressley Ridge, we don’t believe in labels. We believe in second chances.


I know the children you serve. You give them opportunities that they may not have otherwise.

Dick Calloway, host of Highland Highlights, 2005


The Opportunity Fund at Pressley Ridge makes sure kids get the quality and quantity of care they need without delay, regardless of the reimbursement that is coming to cover our costs for great teachers and facilities. Each year Pressley Ridge provides $1 million in these kinds of non-reimbursed services so that children and families in crisis get the immediate intervention they need

Reflect. Share. Act. (2004 publication)


When these kids come to us we try to see them for who they really are by looking at their strengths and the strengths of their family. We try to build on these strengths to make them successful. It’s about relationship building and trust with these kids and their families.

Susanne Cole, vice president of Residential and Educational Programs, 2005


For many children, we [Pressley Ridge] are their last chance

Lilian Hall Fisher, emeritus board member, 1989
