Community Intervention & Educational Services is a
community agency that services Winston-Salem and surrounding counties.
The agency’s focus is to support and empower families and individuals in
need of advocacy and quality support services stemming from crises. We
believe that being able to do this takes a strong partnering with the
judicial system, mental health providers, law enforcement and those
that do other services that help those in the community.
There is a great streak of violence
in every human being. If it is not channeled or understood, it will
break out in war and madness"--Gerard Vanderhaar
