St. Anne Institute (SAI) was started in 1887 to help children and families develop the confidence and skills needed to overcome crises. Over the years, SAI evolved into a private, not-for-profit, non-secular residential and community-based health and human services agency committed to providing the highest level of care to thousands of children, young adults, and families across New York State. St. Anne Institute serves youth who require the highest level of care, prior to hospitalization, due to trauma, including high levels of domestic violence, self-harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts and attempts, several foster care placements, and histories of substance abuse.
