The foundation for sound mental health is built early in life as experiences shape the developing brain.

CG&FS can help your child meet age-appropriate emotional and intellectual milestones.

As your child enters school they will face many social and emotional challenges.

CG&FS works collaboratively with you and your child's teachers to help your child meet the challenges before them.

Growing up is hard. The pressure to be liked, do well in school, and make big decisions increases as you enter into the teen years.

We hear you. CG&FS is here for you.

The responsibilities of family life can be overwhelming and leave us feeling helpless.

CG&FS provides support to help you cope and find a pathway to contentment.

It takes a collective effort to make this a healthy and productive community. Help us to continue our work by doing your part. Your financial support allows us to continue to provide support in our five Summit County locations, local schools and day care facilities. Together we can make a meaningful difference that none of us can achieve alone.
