Review for Center For Children Inc, La Plata, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Center For Children has an array of mental health programs/services available to our Chales County community. Some of the services provided are Therapeutic, Supervised Visitation, Healthy Families, Functional Family Therapy, Adolescent Psychiatric Rehab (PRP), Connections Case Management and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) The Center is also Parent to the Family Resource Center. The Family Resource Center is located in a great location, at the St. Charles Mall in Waldorf. This makes providing services to residents of Charles County more available and accessable via public transportation. At the Family Resource Center there is a Systems Navigator and Family Navigator. They provide linkage of resources and referrals to the Youth and Familes in Charles County, MD community. The Family Navigator specializes in working with youth and familes that have special needs or a disability. At each location of the Center For Children Offices within the Tri-Counties(St. Mary, Charles, Calvert and Anne Arundel) the hours are flexible for working parents and students who need appointments for evenings, Saturday or afterschool. The staff are skilled and knowledgable in their profession and atmosphere in each location is always welcoming. The work being done at Center For Children is not only good but efffective. Anybody can be good but not everyone is effective.
