People Places is a Virginia-based non-profit child welfare agency created to make healthy family living possible for troubled children who have been removed from their own homes. Our core service is therapeutic foster care, a program we helped pioneer and have continued to help improve locally and throughout the U.S. and Canada since 1973.

     Today, we offer an array of services to further our mission including supported adoption, group and individual counseling, Pygmalion School and independent living assistance. We are active in providing technical assistance, training and program materials to sister agencies throughout North America.
