What Kind of Child or Youth Does Murphy-Harpst Help? The Harpst campus residential treatment center is designed to serve children or adolescents who have emotional and/or behavioral problems that do not require intensive hospitalization but which are too severe to permit a non-secure living environment and which require specialized psychiatric and psychological evaluation, assessment and intervention. Typical behaviors characteristic of children needing residential treatment are aggressive behavior (destruction of property and fighting with others), frequent running away, severe depression, self-injurious behavior, violent outbursts, severe panic attacks, severe school phobia, and other behaviors serious enough to preclude continued functioning in a family, at school, or in the community. The Harpst campus residential treatment center does not serve children who are considered medically fragile, are active sexual predators, who are actively suicidal or homicidal, who have moderate to severe mental retardation, or whose needs exceed the resources of the organization.

25 YEARS BOLD 8th Annual Great Atlanta Youth Walk West End Park Saturday, Sept. 25, 2004 10:00 am-1:00 p.m. (subject to change) The Great Atlanta Youth Walk is based on a simple idea: powerless children need our help. We have the power to make the difference! The annual Youth Walk is the only event of its kind to highlight the positive aspects of Atlanta's southside. The Walk takes place on the southside, demonstrates the southside community's concern for youth, and raises much-needed money for southside programs that are making a difference in the lives of children. The Youth Walk is based on the premise that churches, schools and community organizations form the first line of defense in support of children and families. For this reason, the Youth Walk puts money back into the community.
