Mission Statement
The Guidance Center provides comprehensive mental health treatment to our community's most disadvantaged children and their families struggling with mental illness and abuse, leading them toward a positive and productive future. The Guidance Center envisions a community where all children have the help they need to be healthy and happy.
About This Cause
The Guidance Center has been leading children and families to a brighter future for more than 70 years. We work closely with families who are committed to giving their children a better life and are dedicated to helping each child build on his or her own strengths so that they will have a successful and brighter future. We offer a broad array of services to nearly 3,000 under-served children, teens and families. From prevention to early intervention, to treating more serious chronic illnesses, our services include: • comprehensive mental health treatment such as individual, group and family therapy, crisis intervention, case management, and community education/outreach • intensive mental health treatment in Long Beach for children and families who require more than is provided in a traditional clinic setting • school based services at more than 40 schools within the Long Beach, Lynwood and Paramount Unified School Districts • smaller clinics in Compton and San Pedro as well as field-based services on Catalina Island, where we are the only mental health service provider available to children • organized professional training programs in the disciplines of clinical social work, predoctoral psychology and marriage and family therapy The Guidance Center also works closely with public schools, allied agencies, several county departments (Mental Health, Children and Family Services, Probation, Office of Education, Alcohol and Drug Program Administration), community partners, and other professionals.
