The mission of The Baptist Children's Village is to help children and their families fully understand and experience the healing ministry of Christ by meeting their daily needs, and inspiring them to become Christian adults who are happy, healthy and mature.  About 300 children every year are touched by this mission.  If you are a parent, grandparent, public agency representative or a representative from any referring agency who needs the services of The BCV, the following information will direct you through the necessary process.

Admission Procedures

> The legal custodian of the child should call (601) 922-2242 and ask to speak with the Intake Coordinator

> The Intake Coordinator will seek to determine if the applicant is a candidate for Emergency Care, Extended Care, or if referral to another resource better meets the family needs.

> If immediate care is considered to be the best option, and if there are beds available, the child's admission is scheduled with the Emergency Care Counselor.

> If Extended Care is appropriate, an application is mailed or faxed to the legal guardian of the child or children.

> When a completed application is returned, with necessary documents, an Intake Study is scheduled.  Most studies are scheduled weekly on Monday and/or Friday.  The study is conducted by the Intake Social Worker and is approximately two hours in length.  The legal guardian and child or children will need to be present.

> After the intake study is complete the Intake Social Worker will present the application to the Admissions Committee which meets weekly.  The members of this committee are a team of professionals that includes a Clinical Psychologist and Case Managers.  Also in Attendance are the Intake Coordinator, and other qualified staff.
