The Children's Home Society of West Virginia is a private, non-profit child welfare organization founded in 1896. The Society is a participatory organization consisting of contributors, employees, volunteers and friends. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that is representative of the diversity in the communities we serve in the state. We are licensed to provide child welfare and behavioral health services in West Virginia and we are fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children. Comprehensive child welfare, behavioral health, social casework, and advocacy services are provided to over 6,500 children each year from twelve primary locations throughout the state. Current programs include adoption, foster care, in-home and in-community services for children and families, emergency shelter care, respite, mediation, parent training, prenatal and early childhood services, volunteer and mentoring, youth services, visitation and reunification, school-based social work, and comprehensive assessment services.
