Washburn Center for Children

"Who cares about the mental health of our children?" 

We do. I do. You do. Our community does.

Right now, the demand for children’s mental health services is skyrocketing. At Washburn Center, we are dedicated to serving each family waiting for the care they need and deserve.

Recent studies reveal that 23% of youth have faced a major depressive episode, and 14% have seriously considered suicide. These statistics are heartbreaking—but they’re not the end of the story. 

This year, thanks to generous support: 

• We will serve more kids and families.
• We will deploy staff in schools and communities healing from trauma.
• We will continue to innovate with hospitals and partners, so kids get care exactly where they need it.

How We Help

As a place of hope and healing, Washburn Center for Children is a leading innovator in children’s mental health care. Annually, we walk alongside nearly 4,000 families, meeting them where they are emotionally, economically, and geographically. 

"Where do I even begin... Thank you for everything over the past couple of years. On our worst days, you were there to help find ways to help. On our best days, you were there to celebrate. During our summer of chaos, you were there trying to help in all directions. You found a way for me to open up and trust you, not just with Kenny but also about my childhood and myself. I am so glad you were one of Kenny and my stepping-stones in life.”
