What We Do

Our mission at The Children's Center is to help children and families shape their own futures. We are home to many specialized clinical services,  and lead the way in working with children who struggle with behavioral, emotional, educational, intellectual and developmental challenges or may have experienced trauma. We treat the whole child, looking at more than a single issue so we can provide the best, most comprehensive integrated care. We examine barriers in the home, school and community, working with the family who raises them and the organizations that support them.

Interesting Info
  • We support 7,500 children and families annually.
  • Our goal is to be recognized as the premier provider of programs and services in the country.
  • Over 1,000 volunteers join us annually!
