With more than 125 years of experience in assisting high risk children in the Minneapolis area, Washburn Center for Children is the leader in helping children with social, emotional and behavioral problems and their families. As a community mental health center focused on children’s mental health, Washburn 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 serves approximately 1,800 children and their family members each year, about 60% of them from low-income families living in the Twin Cities and its surrounding suburbs. Through a variety of programs and services and numerous community partnerships, a multidisciplinary team of mental health practitioners and professionals work together to accurately identify each child’s developmental strengths and difficulties and provide research-based interventions. Clinic-based, home-based, and classroom-based approaches give each child, parents, and teachers the building blocks they need to create a steady path to success at home and at school. Outpatient therapy services are available for children and adolescents at Washburn’s three locations in Minneapolis, Minnetonka and Brooklyn Park and in seventeen school-based offices in Minneapolis, Bloomington and Eden Prairie Public Schools.
