Raising Hope, Restoring Healing | The Buckeye Ranch 2024 Impact Report
The Buckeye Ranch’s 2024 Impact Report is here! For more than 63 years, The Buckeye Ranch has been proudly serving children, youth, and families in Ohio. Our mission has always been to restore hope and provide healing through coordinated services that assist families urgently seeking help. Without access to this critical care, families and communities struggle to keep their children safe and supported. When families experience restored hope, they can begin their journey of healing and contribute to a thriving community.

The Buckeye Ranch’s Guiding Principles
Fundamental to creating and maintaining a healing environment for the children and youth in services and treatment is adherence to four foundational principles that have been shown to be essential to the healing and growth of children, youth, and families. These principles are:
- Taking a Strengths-Based approach
- Having a Family-Centered perspective
- Providing Trauma-Informed Care
- Being Culturally Responsive in our understanding of children, youth, families, and team members
By sharing our FY24 Impact Report, we hope to reinforce our commitment to these Principles of Quality Care and amplify their efficacy at creating positive outcomes for children, youth, and families.
Restoring Hope and Providing Healing for Youth in Our Community
At The Buckeye Ranch, there is nothing more special than hearing youth and families share how our services have helped them in their healing journeys. In our FY24 Impact Report, you’ll read more about the tremendous success of youth like Caidyn, Families like Tiffini and Kris, and community partners like Principal Joel:
“The dedication to a trauma-informed care approach at The Buckeye Ranch shone light on an aspect of my treatment that had been completely overlooked. Understanding this missing piece of my trauma helped me to begin forgiving myself. I still work on this today with my clinician, whose continuous support has saved my life, time and time again.”
-Caidyn, Qualified Residential Treatment Services and Community-Based Mental Health Services recipient
“After his time in the Multi-Systemic Therapy program, [my son] is less angry and can maintain stability in his emotions. Before, we would have discussions, and he would be okay for short while, but it wouldn’t be long before he would go right back to having challenging behaviors. Now he’s on track. He’s determined, motivated, and ready to go. He’s got the coping skills he needs to feel steady in sessions and out of sessions in the community and at home.”
-Tiffini, mother of MST and FFT recipient
“Most of our kids aren’t struggling academically. They’re struggling to managetheir trauma and outside life factors out of their control. They just need support. They need to feel understood. They need to learn they can trust adults. Because of the Buckeye Ranch, many of our kids now do.”
-Principal Joel, School-Based Mental Health Services Community Partner
