MISSION
The Centers for Youth & Families has improved the lives of thousands of children, youth and families in Arkansas since its creation in 1884. More than 4,500 people benefit from mental health services at Centers for Youth and Families’ locations in Little Rock and Monticello each year.
Dedicated employees heal children, adolescents and adults from complex trauma through services that include residential care for survivors of abuse, neglect, abandonment or human trafficking; therapeutic foster care; outpatient counseling; day treatment and transitional care. Specialized mental health services for adults include outpatient counseling, care coordination and day treatment.
