What We Do

Since 1958, The Guidance Center has responded to the ever-changing needs of Southeast Michigan residents in Wayne County as an innovative leader in providing quality behavioral health, substance use prevention and treatment, and community outreach services to children, adults and families. Through our 26 programs, our private, non-profit agency leads the way in creating new prevention, education, and treatment models to help children and families learn and grow in all aspects of their lives.  The Guidance Center also has the distinction of having the only accredited Children's Advocacy Center in all of Wayne County, Kids-TALK Children's Advocacy Center provides children impacted by abuse with everything they need to heal and move toward the bright futures they deserve. Kids-TALK CAC sees more than 2,000 children each year.
