THE CHILDREN’S CENTER BRAND ESSENCE

Brand Pillar No. 1

We help children by looking at more than a single issue. We treat the whole child. We examine the barriers in the home, school or community. We work with the family who raises them. And we bring all our learning together to support their healing and get them on the road to a happier, more fulfilling childhood. What makes The Children’s Center unlike any other place? Within the answer is the magic of who we are, our unique brand. 

Brand Pillar No. 2

We help children heal, grow and thrive. We help empower their voices. And learn to self-advocate once they’re outside the comfort of our walls. Learn about our advocacy priorities and why the work we do is essential. Lend your voice and passion. We rely on passionate volunteers to amplify our messages online and help advance our policy platform.

Brand Pillar No. 3

The Children’s Center stands for family, for healing and for hope. We practice integrated, evidence-based care. That means care that’s been tried and tested, proven to be effective to help children overcome their challenges and grow into strong, healthy, productive adults. 

good words. good people.

    Laurie Saims
  • I was fortunate to take a tour of this wonderful organization this morning. What a fantastic facility that does amazing this for children and families in our community!! I strongly encourage you to take a tour or make a clothing/ food donation if your able. Don't sell your kids clothes for a few dollars, but rather change the life of a child who truly is in need of clothing; especially little boys clothes. I know I will be donating soon.

  • “The center helps parents and students with services at on many levels. Students get mentoring, tutoring, supplies for school. Parents can receive many supportive systems to reach their goals the same way.”

  • The Children's Center is an amazing organization at every level. The care that our children and entire family have received is truly life changing. They focus not only on healing children, but also on healing the family unit and training parents how to best deal with their child's issue. They have brought our family hope and we are watching our children heal and thrive. I cannot say enough good things about The Children's Center.
