PlayTime! A Community Center
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the mental health of our youth.
Why do we focus on
Heal the family, heal the child
Directly Impact Our Community
Whether directly through family sessions, parent events, support or education, we provide opportunities for children and families to grow closer and heal together.
We provide mental health services to families at a reduced or no-cost to remove the barrier to treatment caused by limited finances.
20% or 1 in 5 children suffer from a mental health or learning disorder.
80% of chronic mental health illnesses begin in childhood.
Among children living below 100% of the federal poverty level, more than 1 in 5 (22%) had a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorders.
Studies show that age and poverty level affected the likelihood of children receiving treatment for anxiety, depression, or behavior problems.
Our 1st Goal:
To make a lasting impact, we know that we must actively engage and include the communities we are seeking to help. We are continually learning and growing in how we show up as an authentic, ethical partner and provide social services to members of our community
Improve the Quality of Mental Health Services
The training a clinician receives directly impacts the quality of care they will provide our children. Through our internship, shadowing, supervision and new therapist employment opportunities, we are passionately focused on training and educating the new generation of clinicians.
