Report to the Community

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is a new age of increased access to healthcare, with necessary mental health services finally being recognized as a crucial part of overall wellbeing.

This is reflected in the changes in our nation’s healthcare delivery system, which strives to put physical and behavioral healthcare on equal footing. The Child and Family Guidance Center (CFGC) is proud to be part of this change -creating new pathways to healthy communities.

The union of mental and physical healthcare presents a unique opportunity for CFGC to bring our services to all who are in need in our community. Our agency is taking the lead in reaching out to 50,000 eligible families and enrolling them in health insurance plans. CFGC is also enhancing the care that we provide to children and parents by integrating mental health services with primary healthcare at a new wellness center located on a high school campus.

CFGC has a long history of ground-breaking advocacy and introducing innovative programs based on community need. Now, we are positioned to take action toward a future that helps larger numbers of people as we build upon a halfcentury of providing high-quality, comprehensive behavioral healthcare.

CFGC is committed to meeting these goals:

• Eliminate mental-health stigma • Erase poor health habits • Promote solutions • Provide health education • Raise awareness about the importance of children and families’ mental health • Increase safety and community wellness • Provide access to high quality mental health services

818.739.5155

These are crucial goals, and the results of meeting them speak for themselves. Many of the children we serve have gone on to become college graduates, respected business people, community volunteers and loving mothers and fathers. Thousands have avoided hospitalization and/or incarceration, substance abuse and separation from family.

As you read through our Report to the Community, you will become engaged in the stories of people in your community and learn how prevention, early intervention and treatment services changed their lives. You will discover how CFGC aids families experiencing difficult life experiences and helps them to overcome and triumph throughout their lifetimes.

You can also get up-to-date information on the state of mental health in the U.S. and discover how early intervention reduces our society’s overall healthcare costs. You are also welcome to read about CFGC’s awards, staff expertise and credentials. Finally, I invite you to partner with CFGC in helping more than 10,000 vulnerable and at-risk youth a year achieve health and wellbeing by making a charitable contribution today. Our support creates better lives and makes your community a healthier, better place to live.

Sincerely,

Roy Marshall, President/CEO
