Emergency Removal Support
When children are detained from their homes by caseworkers, they go back to the DCS office until placement is secure. However, The Cooper House welcomes these children & caseworkers into our home where volunteers are ready to love, care and meet the needs of the children.
Caseworkers:
You do need to stay with the children while they are at TCH.
Children can stay up to 24 hours. We have plenty of beds.
We do have lice kits, new clothes, a bathtub/shower and a washer & dryer.
All volunteers have been background & criminal checked by DCS.
You can work on your case report and/or make phone calls to secure placement and/or catch up on some work. Our volunteers will care for the children’s needs. Of course, jump in on a game or two if you want! We want to serve you, too! We appreciate you!
