About Childrens Center of Wayne County

The Children’s Center provides support for children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, and developmental difficulties. Based in Detroit, the center serves young people from birth through age 21 using outpatient services, psychiatric treatment, and telehealth. Their programs address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and other related needs. With more than 85 years of experience, the staff works to strengthen children and families not only in the clinic, but also in everyday settings like home and school.

Professionals at the center apply proven approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parent-child interaction therapy, and behavior therapy to support each stage of recovery. Treatment is shaped into an individualized plan created through collaboration with psychologists, psychiatrists, and case managers. The center also offers social skills groups, psychiatric assessments, medication management, and trauma-informed care to help children build emotional resilience and stability.

To further assist families, the center connects caregivers with Parent Support Partners—experienced parents who understand similar challenges firsthand and can provide practical advice, motivation, and links to useful community resources. The Children’s Center collaborates with schools and hospitals to remove obstacles to treatment and promote success for students. Additional services include developmental evaluations, crisis support, and telehealth options for added convenience. Overall, every aspect of the program is designed to help children thrive at home, in school, and beyond.
