For the past 100 years, The Child & Family Guidance Center has been meeting the mental health needs of children in the community.
We have been meeting the mental health needs of children in the community for the past 100 years. We provide children and families with culturally informed mental health care and complementary supports, regardless of ability to pay. Our continuum of care includes outpatient behavioral health and psychiatric services, emergency support, and the tools for long-term emotional and psychological health. As an Enhanced Care Clinic, new clients can receive appointments within 2 weeks of outreach, and mobile crisis can be at someone’s home to respond to a mental health emergency within 45 minutes.

Our donors support our mission in many ways, but the first step to caring for something is learning about it. Here is a video of John Skelly, a longtime donor for the Community Support for Families. John’s donations help the team to provide essential resources and services to families in need, such as support for utility bills, infant care supplies, and holiday meals.

“Everything I had an issue with,
they had a solution.” -Ruth
December 2024- Ruth, a Latina, single mother of three boys, sought our assistance during a time of overwhelming stress. Her youngest son, Caspar, was struggling with his mental health, causing Ruth to leave work several times a week to pick him up early from school.
While Ruth and Caspar participated in other programs, challenges persisted.
That’s when Ruth was referred to CFGC.
