Western
Western Division
Children's Home Society of Florida (CHS) was 18 years old when the Western Division was established in Pensacola in 1920 to serve children and their families in the Panhandle area. The Western Division began offering adoption services and has expanded to operate 12 programs today, including: Adoption, Adoption Support, Family Intervention Resource Specialist, Family Visitation Center, Foster Care Initiative, Healthy Families, CHS First, Kugelman Counseling Center, MODEL Mentoring Program, teenspace, YouthWorks and Support Coordination. Each program is designed with one goal mind: to protect children through preserving and strengthening families.
We thank My Stuff Bags Foundation for generously donating 400 bags filled with wonderful surprises for children in our care!
