Cumberland House aims to aid disturbed children in Nashville
Cumberland House Tennessee, a 1962 NIMH pilot program, houses 32 emotionally disturbed children aged six to twelve in eight-student dormitories. The center emphasizes education and life adjustment over psychotherapy, with tuition based on ability to pay. About 75 percent improved after six months, and many children return home, though not all are helped.
