Woodward Community Based Services, a division of Sequel Youth and Family Services, was founded in response to the growing need to serve children, adolescents, and their families in their home community. Woodward Community Based Services began operation July 2006. All programs are predicated on the firm conviction that every youth and family we serve has the potential for greatness;

that undreamed success at home, at school and at work are eminently achievable. We recognize that the people we serve often find themselves in difficult circumstances, but not always of their own making. We are committed to helping them transcend these conditions and make fundamental and permanent behavioral/cognitive changes, thereby achieving their dreams.
