WellStar Health System teamed up with CASA for Children Inc. and the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children to create a safe and warm home environment for foster children to rebuild family bonds.

The Childrens Haven was created to give foster kids the opportunity to succeed by bringing a variety of support programs under one roof. The not-for-profit evolved from the organization originally known as CASA for Children, Inc. The new Childrens Haven name better encompasses all of the services provided for foster children.

The new WellStar Family Visitation Center at the Childrens Haven is a warm, homey environment, including a full working kitchen, dining room and living room full of child-appropriate toys and centers. The space allows children to feel more comfortable while spending time with their parents. Designed for family bonding, the room is equipped with closed circuit cameras and security systems to keep children safe.

Other services at The Childrens Haven include CASA, Rainbows Grief Support Groups and Teach One to Lead One Mentoring.
