Center for Child Counseling: A safe haven for vulnerable families

What does Center for Child Counseling do and how does it benefit the community?

The well-being of babies and young children, along with their caregivers, have been the focus of Center for Child Counseling’s mission since being founded in 1999. By improving access to Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health services, they aim to improve the lives of the children and the adult caregivers they serve. They do this through an array of prevention, early intervention and mental health treatment programs for children, families and caregivers impacted by trauma, violence, abuse and general mental health concerns through quality counseling at local childcare centers in high-risk neighborhoods, shelters for victims of domestic abuse, homeless shelters, schools, homes, the Palm Healthcare Pavilion in West Palm Beach, and their Child and Family Center in Palm Beach Gardens.
