Post-Adoption resources
Presbyterian Children's Homes & Services
PCHAS is a wonderful organization that provides free services to qualified families in crisis mode. Their services are much broader than simply helping adopting families, but we have seen the PCHAS organization bless families with free TBRI training, Crisis Behavior Management, Parental Guidance, Support, and Resources.
This service can be a breath of fresh air to parents who adopt a child and then find themselves wondering, "What did we get ourselves into?" The PCHAS team helps parents identify behaviors they are seeing within their child and work a game plan for successfully bonding the family and creating a safe and supportive home for your child.
