MID-FAIRFIELD CHILD GUIDANCE CENTER INC

Mission

ESTABLISHED IN 1956, THE MID-FAIRFIELD CHILD GUIDANCE CENTER, INC. (MID-FAIRFIELD) SERVES AS THE COMMUNITY SAFETY NET FOR THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES IN THE GREATER NORWALK REGION WHO CANNOT AFFORD PRIVATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR THEIR CHILDREN. IT IS THE LONG-STANDING POLICY OF MID-FAIRFIELD TO HELP ALL CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF THEIR FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. OUR SERVICE AREA INCLUDES NORWALK, WESPORT/WESTON/WILTON, STAMFORD/GREENWICH, AND DARIEN/NEW CANAAN; ADDITIONALLY, WE ACCEPT CHILDREN THROUGHOUT CONNECTICUT IN NEED OF SPECIALIZED SERVICES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. MID-FAIRFIELD PROVIDES BEHAVIROAL HEALTH AND SUPPORT SERVICES TO OVER 2,000 CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH ADOLESCENCE, AND THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL AS PRENATAL MOTHERS EACH YEAR. ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE OFFERED BILINGUALLY (ENGLISH/SPANISH) BY A TEAM OF BILINGUAL, BICULTURAL CLINICIANS AND CARE COORDINATORS, AND A SPANISH-SPEAKING CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRIST.
