Specialized Treatment Options for Foster Kids
Focused Behavioral Therapy and Counseling Services
At Safe Haven, we provide around-the-clock foster care services for children ranging anywhere in age from birth to 21 years old. We work with each child to help him or her achieve optimal mental and behavioral health before being placed at the discretion of the director. Our services include case management, quality assurance, nursing, oversight, and behavioral therapy. Based on their own personal diagnoses, some children may require additional help or services. Our organization offers specialized treatment and care options throughout the Macon, Georgia, area.
