Western
Western Division
Children's Home Society of Florida is proud to serve the Pensacola community with our unique Trauma Recovery Initiative (TRI) Center, the only center in Florida that addresses the needs of children who've endured multiple complex traumas. Learn more on our services page.
As one of the oldest divisions within Children's Home Society of Florida, the Western Division has served Pensacola and the Western Panhandle since 1920. Though we began offering adoption services - and still have a strong adoption and adoption support program - we've expanded to operate a myriad of child abuse prevention and intervention services, as well as counseling, family strengthening and mentoring services. Each program is designed with one goal mind: to protect children through preserving, strengthening and empowering families.
We thank My Stuff Bags Foundation for generously donating 400 bags filled with wonderful surprises for children in our care!
