Child
and Family Counseling In the effort to enhance the capacity of families to be safe and nurturing places for children, CHSW professionals offer counseling services in a variety of settings to children and families who face a variety of problems—problems that may affect a child’s ability to succeed in school or parents’ capacity to manage their household and provide guidance for their children. Counseling can help families build on their strengths and deal with their difficulties. Child
Sexual Abuse Counseling Children who have been sexually abused and their families have unique needs. This specialized program provides services directed at lessening the emotional and psychological trauma of the abuse as well as protecting children from risk of future exploitation. Here children and families can begin the healing process. When appropriate, the program is coordinated with other legal and social services involved in child protection and law enforcement. Children's
Hospitalization Alternative Program CHSW provides intensive in-home counseling and support services for children and youth who are at risk for hospitalization due to their mental illness. These services are intended to maintain children and youth in their homes and communities and avoid hospitalization. Adoption
Resource Center The Adoption Resource Center is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of those whose lives have been touched by adoption. The ARC offers pre- and post-adoption counseling, specializing in adoptive or foster families with later-placed children. The ARC also provides information, support, counseling, advocacy, search assistance, and education for triad members (adopted persons, birth parents, adoptive parents) and professionals working in the adoption field. The Adoption Resource Center does not place children. Cobb
Center for Youth A structured, caring residential program for boys ages 5-16 whose emotional/behavioral problems prevent them from living in their own homes or in foster-adoptive homes.
