Tara Hall - Mission and Purpose Tara
Hall, which accepts neglected, troubled, and abused boys, is an effective
long-term residential school that develops moral, social, educational
and life skills, thus building responsible contributing adults, while
providing services to their families. Tara Hall's purpose is to provide
residential, educational and family services to boys from the state
of South Carolina. We offer a home environment, meeting all of the physical
and emotional needs of the boys. We offer an on-campus school to meet
the educational needs of the boys. We offer a Family Services program
to assist the families of the boys in preparing them for the eventual
return of their boys. Tara Hall accepts boys from the age of six to twelve whose families live within one hundred miles of our campus. Preference is given to boys from the Grand Strand, Lowcountry and Pee Dee areas of South Carolina. In most cases we require that the boys stay with us at least two years giving us adequate time to make a true difference in their lives. " People often ask me if child abuse is as serious a problem as it is portrayed to be. I am not one to keep up with numbers and statistics, but I can speak to the question. The severity of abuse situations we face with our boys is drastic. The result is that the emotional trauma and dysfunction expressed by the behavior of our boys is worse than I have seen in the thirty four years I have been at Tara Hall." James Dumm, Director of Tara Hall
