Therapeutic & Post Adoption Services
CHS understands that adoption is a life long process. As a result, CHS has developed a wealth of therapeutic and post adoption services that help ease the issues of adoption over a client’s lifespan.
Supportive Post Adoption Network (SPAN)
CHS established SPAN to provide services to facilitate and support the placement of children from the local foster care system into adoptive families. Children diagnosed with learning disabilities, emotional/mental health issues, behavior concerns, and/or other special needs receive assessment, therapy, and support services to facilitate improved behavior and functioning at home and school. SPAN provides services throughout all phases of the adoption, primarily for families with children whose prior experiences are creating problems.
CHS now offers therapy services to any child, ages 3-21, and any family who is having difficulties dealing with life's challenges. All services are provided by licensed practitioners who specialize in the mental health needs of children and their families or caretakers.
CHS offers comprehensive therapy services including mental health assessments and specializing in issues including but not limited to:
- Childhood Neglect
- Attachment and Trauma
- Grief and Loss
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Anger
- Behavioral Management
- Identity Issues
CHS offers multiple service locations with flexible appointment scheduling. We accept Medicaid and private insurance. Currently services are provided in Alamance, Guilford, Rockingham, Randolph, Davidson, Rowan, and Forsyth counties. We can accept DSS referrals from other counties who have children placed in close proximity to the counties listed above.
Post Adoption Support Services
CHS provides post adoption services to assist families at any time during their lives, whether they are a birth parent, an adoptee, or an adoptive parent. Post adoption services include:
- Review and interpretation of background information
- Review of medical histories
- Counseling regarding adoption issues
- Support groups
- Workshops and seminars
Confidential Intermediary Services
The Confidential Intermediary Services program allows CHS to act as a confidential intermediary between adult adoptees and birth families. If both parties want contact, CHS will share identifying information with the written consent of the individuals involved. CHS may also agree to act as a confidential intermediary for adoptive parents of a minor adoptee to obtain and share non-identifying birth family health information.
