Celebrating 125 Years of Healing Hearts and Minds!

Since 1887, the San Diego Center for Children has helped thousands of San Diego's most vulnerable children. With five locations across the county, we help children thrive whose trauma, abuse, emotional, or mental health challenges have kept them from achieving their full potential.

The Center is a leader in providing an array of mental health and academic services for these children, including day treatment, outpatient counseling, a K-12th grade education in our accredited school, a residential treatment program, as well as foster care services.

For each child, we help build the skills needed for school and community success, while providing them with the childhood they deserve.
