We own and operate North Carolina’s first and only foster care community! This unique setting marries the best part of group care with the best part of traditional foster care, improving foster children’s quality of life and allowing siblings to stay together.
The community features eight homes, bound by a circular driveway to feel just like your neighborhood...only better! State-of-the-art facilities and recreation opportunities are numerous. While children are in our care, they have access to a gymnasium to exercise, play a game of pick up, or take a dip in the indoor pool, an alpine climbing tower, disc golf course, miles of trails to hike, a playground, a picnic area, and so much more.
Our ten children’s advocacy centers (CACs) help children and families overcome devastating traumas. When a child has been affected by abuse, children’s advocacy centers bring together professionals from multiple agencies (the multi-disciplinary team - core to our work) to offer compassionate support and consolidated care, reducing continued trauma and accelerating healing. This consolidated abuse response reduces the need for child victims to tell their stories multiple times. Our highly trained staff conducts forensic interviews and medical exams right on-site, allowing therapy and healing to begin immediately in the familiar and child-friendly atmosphere of the center.
CACs also participate in child abuse prevention through awareness, education, outreach, and therapy services. CACs also save communities money through the coordinated efforts of our multi-disciplinary teams. It’s estimated that CACs save approximately $1,000 per case (2006, National Children’s Alliance) during the course of a child abuse investigation.
