Staff

Our staff, acting in the role of social worker, carries a caseload of families who have one or more children in the legal custody of the State, relatives, or under jurisdiction of the court. Through successful placement, stabilization, and utilization of our services for these children and their families, our staff strive to achieve stable and safe futures for the children in the care of Seven Homes Agency. Our staff are able to respond quickly to an emergency situation at any time.

Process of Referral

All children and families served are referred by the North Carolina Department of Social Services through the local County Departments of Social Services.  Seven Homes' foster and adoptive parents who are recruited and trained come from all walks of life and geographic areas throughout the Triad region.
