About The Barry Robinson Center
The The Barry Robinson Center (BRC) was established over 70 years ago as The James Barry Robinson Home For Boys, an orphanage and school built under the terms of a charitable trust left by Norfolk businessman Frederick J. Robinson. Changes in community need led to the evolution of a residential treatment center serving emotionally disturbed boys.

More recently, the Center has expanded the residential services to include treatment for girls, as well as offering community based services for children of all ages.

The Barry Robinson Center combines modern residential facilities with several of the original colonial-style buildings dating from 1933. This combination makes it one of the most beautiful and unique residential treatment centers in the region. The sprawling 32-acre wooded campus, conveniently located on the border of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, provides a serene setting for programs helping at-risk youth and their families overcome emotional and behavioral difficulties.
