What We Do

Crossnore walks alongside vulnerable families, providing holistic care so they can thrive in their homes, schools, and communities.

Crossnore offers clinical expertise and compassionate care to children and families across North Carolina through a robust continuum of services, including family preservation, therapy, trauma-responsive education, foster care, and adoption services. Functioning as a responsive, trauma-sensitive continuum of care, Crossnore offers help based on individual circumstances when and how it’s needed most.

Therapy Services

Crossnore offers therapy services to children who live on our residential campuses, those served by other Crossnore programs, outpatient clients, and in some area schools. Our clinicians use trauma-informed care and intentional caregiver engagement to address the impact of adversity while strengthening the adults, staff, and systems that surround each child. Our clinicians also engage in staffing and consultation to reinforce best practices and shared understanding. By strengthening the systems that support the children, we help foster healing and stability.

Family Preservation

Through our Homebuilders® and Family Foundations services, Crossnore provides intensive, in-home support to help children remain at home or to ensure successful and long-lasting reunification when a family has been separated.

Foster Care and Adoptions

Bridging Families™ is Crossnore’s family-focused, team-based professional foster parenting program that serves children and families actively working toward reunification. The aim is to successfully and permanently reunify children in foster care with their families of origin. The program provides full-time professional foster parents (Crossnore employees); intensive wrap-around services, including therapy and case management; and Trust-Based Relational Intervention parenting training.

Campus-based Foster Care serves children in a residential setting while next steps to establishing permanence are determined. Campus-based care allows sibling groups to remain together. The residential program provides wraparound support services to ensure children’s safety, well-being, and belonging, including provision of physical needs, educational support, mental healthcare, spiritual wellness, and recreational opportunities.

Bridging Futures™ serves children ages 17-21 who are transitioning out of the foster care system. The program offers a licensed foster home, full-time professional foster parents (Crossnore employees), therapy services, educational/vocational support, life skills development, and community resource connection to help youth successfully transition to independent adulthood.

Crossnore’s Adoption Program works to find loving, permanent homes and families for waiting children for whom reunification is not possible. Crossnore works diligently to connect children with extended family through kinship adoption or with families desiring to adopt from foster care. We focus on bringing children and families together thoughtfully to ensure the family-building we support is grounded in connection, belonging, and long-term stability. We provide licensing services and placement facilitation, as well as family therapy and other supports during the placement process and post-adoption.

Tailored Care Management

Tailored Care Management (TCM) is designed to provide personalized and coordinated care for children, young adults, and their families living with complicated physical and behavioral health needs, considering each child’s strengths and needs in each of the primary life domains: physical health, mental health, community, family, and education. TCM connects families with most knowledgeable treatment providers, assists youth in meeting academic goals, connects families to needed community resources (people networks, recreation, housing, transportation, etc.), and ensures regular and frequent communication between providers.
