About Us
Methodist Children's Home Society is a private, non-profit, non-sectarian childcare agency. MCHS responds to the needs of abused and neglected children by providing an array of housing, educational, clinical and therapeutic services. We are proud of our rich legacy and our 94-year history of helping children in need, but we are even more excited about what the future holds for MCHS.
Mission:
To meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the children in our care, develop personal, family and community relationships that will contribute to healthy opportunities for the children to reach their fullest potential, and to advocate on behalf of all children.
Vision:
For MCHS to be the premier treatment facility in southeast Michigan, providing the best care to children and families, whether in Residential Care, Foster Care or Adoption Services.
Executive Director's Message:
Fall 2011
Well, it's the ending of one season and the beginning of another here at MCHS. The leaves are beginning to show the slightest tinge of autumn color, and this past week the winds have begun to blow a little cooler. It's an ending and a beginning. It's also a metaphor for what's happening in child welfare in Michigan. It is a time of endings and beginnings. We have begun what feels like a new era of collaboration with the state, as we are asked for our input and questioned about what we do. It is also the end of doing business the "old way." We are being challenged to be more inventive and creative in meeting the needs of the children in our care and the families we serve. We have never needed the help of our supporters more as we incorporate new treatment modalities, add more professional staff and track outcomes in attempts to determine success. It is an exciting time, but a challenging one, as well. Won't you come along with us on this journey? Volunteer, donate, come visit us...become a part of MCHS and all it has to offer!
