About
The Barry Robinson Center is a nonprofit residential behavioral health center in Norfolk, Virginia. Its residential treatment program focuses on military-connected children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral difficulties.
The center traces its origins to the James Barry-Robinson Home for Boys, which opened in 1933 under a Catholic charitable trust established by Norfolk businessman Frederick J. Robinson. The modern campus is located at 443 Kempsville Road, near the Norfolk and Virginia Beach border, and is part of The James Barry-Robinson Institute (history, about).
Current public materials describe the residential program as serving military-connected youth ages 6 to 17. The center emphasizes residential treatment, education, family work, and community-based services, and lists accreditation and quality references including CARF and The Joint Commission (official site, Military Family Advisory Network).
