This is your Consumer Advisory Council

The Consumer Advisory Council is designed to encourage families whose children are clients at The Children’s Center to be involved in, and participate fully, in decisions related to their care and services. The council uses consumer ideas to improve services and agency management practices by:

  • Serving as an advocate for children, youth, and families at The Children’s Center by being a voice for those we serve and providing recommendations to the organization and its staff.
  • Helping new clients and their parents understand services and resources provided by The Children’s Center.
  • Improve community awareness of services and resources provided by The Children’s Center.

Please join us! The Consumer Advisory Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at The Children’s Center Midtown Campus, located at 79 Alexandrine West. A hybrid option is also available if you cannot attend in person.
