The mental health care kids receive at Washburn Center is a safety-net. Community-based mental health care is for all kids and families who need us, period. As an agency, Washburn is balancing community needs that are not going anywhere, financial sustainability and taking care of our staff so they develop and grow – sustaining this mission for this generation of children and those to come. Generous donors ensure financial sustainability is possible even in the reality of long-standing underinvestment in the mental health care system. When families thrive, communities, neighborhoods and schools are stronger.

Get answers that lead to better healing for your growing student! One of Washburn Center’s new testing packages, the Cognitive and Development Assessment, offers a thorough evaluation of mental and emotional skills, helping to pinpoint areas that scholars may need some extra support and offer ideas for how parents and teachers can work together to find better outcomes. “These tests and reports will help demystify what’s happening for a youth in their learning and outline a plan forward,” says Rachael Krahn, PsyD, clinical testing director. It can be such a relief for a parent to get answers when their student is struggling in one area but excelling in other areas.” See a full list of Washburn Center's testing offerings, and sign your family up to get tailored, enlightening results: https://lnkd.in/gGQWixG4
