A home for older teens is located in the city of Wooster. CCHO is licensed as a child Care Agency through the Ohio Department of Human Services. We support over 80 foster care homes than can serve over 200 children from infants to teenagers. In addition, five other residential cottages serve youth from 6 to 18 with specialized care programs. New Beginnings Counseling Center was established in 1993 to encourage and strengthen marriages and guide in the rebuilding of families.
Counselors are available to meet with individuals, couples, and groups.
