Playful. Healthful. Hopeful.
At the Center for Child Counseling, we believe that every child deserves a safe, healthy, and hopeful life. Since 1999, we have been dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families in Palm Beach County. Our services focus on promoting positive mental health for children, families, and our community. We support thousands of children each year, preventing and healing the effects of adverse childhood experiences and trauma, while promoting resiliency and healthy relationships.
Our Approach
Every child is filled with tremendous promise - and, as a community, we have a shared obligation to foster their potential. Launched in 2016, our Fighting ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Initiative promotes a Public Health Approach to preventing and healing the effects of early adversity and trauma on children to build healthier, safer, more nurturing families, schools, and communities.
Our Services
Our therapists provide gold-standard, evidence-based early intervention and mental health treatment to support children, teenagers, and families facing everyday challenges, difficulties adjusting to loss or life's changes, and adverse experiences or trauma that impact healthy development and growth. Our work is grounded in the latest research and best practices in mental health.
Our Impact
Creating a community where all children feel safe, loved, and protected. Our impact is evident in the thousands of children we support each year, and we are proud to present our 2023 Impact Report. Each story and impact point was possible because partners, donors, and believers invest in our science-backed initiatives and step up to lead our burgeoning trauma-informed community.
Building Hope
The more we grow our children's mental health mission, the more we rely on champions in our community to be the ultimate hope and support children need to heal from trauma and thrive. The work we do to mitigate the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can be enormously successful when children also know positive experiences and relationships in life. With our partners, we are creating a trauma-informed Palm Beach County and are expanding prevention and protection programs across the nation.
