Because We Care!
Our Mission
The mission of CHCC is to provide children and families in crisis the opportunity to come together to learn, grow, and develop in a safe, stable environment—because we care.
Who We Are
We are a 501c3 Community Non-Profit that has served at-risk, marginalized, and victim children in a variety of way for over 50 years. Our services include residential placements for children and youth in foster care, independent living services for youth aging out of foster care, adoption services, supervised family visitation, and out-patient mental health services for people of all ages.
We were started by a group of concerned citizens, most of whom were members of the same Sunday School Class, back in 1969 with the expressed goal of providing temporary shelter for homeless children and youth. Over the years we have added services to become the agency we are today.
True or False
Children’s Homes of Cleveland County only provides outpatient mental health services to the children they serve in their group homes.
False!
What do you think of when you hear Children’s Homes of Cleveland County?
Most think we only provide residential and support services for the kids in our care. Some know we also offer parenting classes, supervised visitation, and adoption services. While all of this is true, our mission has grown in recent years to include outpatient counseling, for people of all ages.
We now provide outpatient mental health services to adults, adolescents and children, here and across the state, with
in-person and telehealth appoints available.
We accept many forms of insurance and have a generous sliding scale for those who are uninsured.
No referral is necessary. ANYONE can call our offices at (704) 484-2558 or email counseling@chccinc.org to schedule an appoint
