Alliance Services
CHS’s Alliance Services provide therapeutic services to children in foster care who are preparing to be adopted, children who have been in long-term foster care, and children who may soon age out of or who have aged out of foster care. These services are for children ages 3-21 who reside in or live with families who reside in or near Greensboro, Lexington, High Point, and Winston-Salem.
The Alliance Services are a unique combination of individual and family counseling. This “one of a kind” combination of services assists both the child and the family in healing form the past and developing a new outlook for the future.
Specific services include:
- Assessment on child's needs, strengths, and limitations
- Therapy to work on both attachment and loss issues
- Work on adoption preparation including birth history, transition and coping skills, and sessions to assist foster and adoptive families in transitions
