Generations of Serving & Caring for Children

The Children's Home Society of Idaho (CHS) is one of Idaho's oldest, continually operational 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. Our mission is to provide behavioral health programs and related services to children and the families who care for them, regardless of ability to pay.

Since opening our doors in 1908 as an orphanage, the Children's Home Society of Idaho has assisted generations of Idaho children and families. Today CHS operates the Warm Springs Counseling Center, Warm Springs Training Institute, an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited program providing training for pre-doctoral interns, and The Bridge, an innovative approach to improving foster care.

CHS is not affiliated with any national organizations. All financial support we receive stays locally in the communities we serve and allows for the critical services we provide to be available to all children and the families who care for them. No one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
