With over 125 years as a non-profit agency serving children and families in Minnesota, Washburn Center for Children is the leader in helping children with social, emotional and behavioral mental health problems and their families. All of our services are designed to develop skills, resolve problems and connect with resources to help the child be more successful at home, in school and in the community. Washburn Center for Children strives to integrate innovative research into program practice, implement meaningful evaluation methods and provide effective training and consultation for agency staff and community collaborators.
Washburn Center for Children employs the best and the brightest staff in the field of mental health. The team is comprised of multi-faceted, caring, highly-educated individuals. Several disciplines are represented including social workers, marriage and family therapists and psychologists. All programs have at least one staff member that is fluent in Spanish.
Washburn is also a leader in training clinicians. We are active in Minnesota as well as on a national level, developing and testing for the most effective strategies for intervening in childhood trauma. We are continually finding and implementing ways to improve the quality of our services and help the children of Minnesota and throughout the nation.
