Q: Where are the children who live at Helping Hands from?
A: Children who live with us are primarily
from Aiken County however, children come to live with us from
every other county in the state of South Carolina.
Q: How long do children usually stay at Helping Hands?
A: The average
length of stay is 124 days, but it ranges from a few hours to,
in special cases, a few years.
Q: Who decides when children leave Helping Hands?
A: When a child and his/her parents have
completed the objectives set up by the placement agency, the
agency will make a recommendation that the court order be
changed to allow the child leave this agency. In some cases,
though, the staff at Helping Hands may decide that a child could
benefit more from being somewhere else. In that situation, the
child will leave earlier.
Q: What can I do to help?
A: You can help by becoming a supporter of
Helping Hands. Please see our Volunteer
