The newest program of the Council is the Children's Stabilization and Assessment Center (CSAC) in Canton. The 10,000 square foot building serves as a temporary home for children removed from their parents' care. While at the center, children will receive:

• Medical and psychological exams

• Counseling to address their emotional needs

• Transportation to their school of origin

• Activities and a structured environment designed to assist them in their transition

• Special events and activities such as bowling, movies, pizza night, etc.

• Mentors to assist them with schoolwork

Children and youth staying at the center will be provided with counseling to help them deal with their transition into foster care or reunification with their families.  A special family visitation room is also provided when parents are able to visit their children at CSAC.

Youth preparing to "age out" of the foster care system will be provided with life skills to prepare them for independent living in the future.
