How Do I Begin?

The application process begins with a phone call to our Assessment Office at 336-721-7625.  Referrals can be made by anyone involved with the child, including community support professionals, therapists, and other concerned parties.  However, to initiate the application process we must speak with the child's legal guardian.

Our licensed counselors will conduct a preliminary phone screening of the potential client, including the presenting problem, current diagnoses, medications and history of prior placements.  This phone screening generally takes approximately twenty to thirty minutes and allows both the legal guardian and the counselor opportunity to ask appropriate questions about the child's readiness to be part of our program.  This preliminary phone call also give assessment staff an opportunity to advise the legal guardian of when there may be an opening in the program which is appropriate for the client's needs.

What Programs Do We Have?

The Children's Home offers a full range of services for children and families under the new Medicaid services definitions.  Although most of our consumers are Medicaid children, we do accept some private insurances.  Our services include outpatient therapy through Reynolda Counseling Center, psychiatric services for children enrolled in one day of our programs, Residential Levels II and III, traditional and therapeutic foster care, Day Treatment, Community Support (formerly known as case management or CBS workers) and Diagnostic Assessment.

Who Can We Serve?

The age range of children served in residential treatment is 12-17.  The age range for Day Treatment is 12-17.  The age range served in both traditional and therapeutic foster care is 0-21.  Community Support, Diagnostic Assessment and Reynolda Counseling Center serve clients of all ages.
