How We Serve
Since 1998, the Children’s Center has been a beacon for nurturing children and families through proactive, instructive support and encouragement.
Residential Services
The Children's Center has two residential homes, one in Surry County and the other in Yadkin County, which provide a safe-haven for children ages 6-18. Residential care includes mental health clinical services, nutritious meals, clothing, transportation, educational support, and community resources. In addition to bedrooms and bathrooms, the homes include kitchen and dining areas, study and tutoring spaces, and recreational areas. Residential programs are certified through Cornell University's CARE program. We also offer short-term respite care for children ages 6-18 in emergency or planned situations.
Family Services
The Children’s Center provides a wide range of parenting and family programs that are research and evidence-based models designed to help prevent child maltreatment through intervention. Throughout these programs, parents increase their parenting skills, knowledge, and relationships with their children and learn how to be their child’s first teacher.
Youth Services
The Children’s Center provides evidence-based programs for at-risk or court-involved youth, as well as youth that need extra support during adolescence. Children’s Center youth programs operate in partnership with local juvenile crime prevention councils, court staff, school personnel and other stakeholders to best identify and serve the children in each community.
Behavioral Health Services
We offer a wide range of mental health services for children, families, and adults through secure virtual telehealth, or in person. Our clinical programs include appropriate assessments, treatment planning and outside referrals as needed. We utilize evidence-based techniques/modalities and specialize in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We also provide specialty services for The Department of Social Services, Juvenile Justice and other local agencies such as Comprehensive Clinical Assessments, specialized counseling programs and recommended level of care/placement.
