Carolina Children's Home has cared for South Carolina's young people for close to 100 years. During that time, the Home's mission has evolved to better meet the needs of our society, growing from a traditional rescue orphanage into one of the state's leading rehabilitative treatment centers for abused and neglected children and adolescents. Today, the average age of the CCH resident is 15, and a child may stay with us for as short a time as 30 days or as long as a few years - all dependent upon the child's needs. CCH can assist up to 94 residents at one time and individual treatment programs center around self-esteem, relationships, emotional development and behavioral therapy.
