northern Michigan.
Using a trauma-focused lens, Child & Family Services’ programs help children, youth, adults, and families heal and grow.
We serve our community through offices in Traverse City, Harbor Springs, and Gaylord,

CFS' Foster Care, Adoption, Licensing, Behavioral Health, Pete's Place, and Respite programs are CARF accredited!
This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable, and accountable.
"The staff members are enthusiastic about providing quality care that truly makes a difference in the lives of the children and families served. They are highly dedicated and serve with commitment, respect, compassion, and dignity across programs."
