Since the founding of the Child Guidance Center in 1954, the agency has been committed to serving the outpatient mental health needs of all youngsters with emotional, behavioral, developmental, social and family problems. Over the years new programs have been created in response to emerging community needs. Innovative treatment approaches have been implemented based on the latest developments of effective treatment options in the children’s mental health field. To become more accessible for those with high-risk problems, we expanded services with an emphasis on 24-hour availability and mobile capacity. To make services more comprehensive and effective, we maintain extensive collaborative relationships with other community agencies. The Center provides leadership to four interagency teams bringing together public and private agencies to enhance services for children who have been sexually abused, are seriously emotionally disturbed, and those living in families with complex service needs.
