The Child Center is a non-profit human services agency that has been offering a continuum of psychiatric and special education programs throughout Lane County since 1972. Services for children with severe emotional and mental disorders include Outpatient, Crisis, Day Treatment, Assessment and Referral, Pregnant Teen and a Mobile Resource Library.

Our mission is to provide individualized, diagnostic, therapeutic and educational services for the emotional and behavioral problems children exhibit in the home, school and community; provide integrated community based psychiatric and support services that are child centered, family driven and culturally competent; to advocate for preventative and educational services from community resources and to promote and/or develop other specialized services for children with serious mental, emotional and behavioral disorders and their families.

Regardless of the service, our experience has proven that long term results are always better when the child's family is an integral team member. At The Child Center parents are involved in all phases of treatment services including assessment, the development of plans of care, the integration of education and treatment services as well as transition plans/services.
