Creating Happier, Healthier Children
With 130 years of experience in assisting high-risk children, Washburn Center for Children is a leading children’s mental health center, caring for a wide variety of children’s needs such as trauma, anxiety, depression and learning difficulties.
Washburn provides a vital community resource by serving more than 2,700 children each year through an array of center-based, in-home and school programs.
One out of five Minnesota children will experience mental health challenges, yet only 20% of these children will get the professional help they need. Responding to the community’s growing needs, Washburn expanded its services and now serves 81% more children than it did five years ago.
A parent or teacher wouldn’t think twice about getting help for a child suffering from a physical injury. Washburn ensures caregivers also have a resource to help kids who are hurting "on the inside" – because children’s mental health is as important as their physical health.
