The Guidance Center

THE GUIDANCE CENTER'S FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER

Here at The Guidance Center, our mission is to provide comprehensive mental health treatment to our community’s most disadvantaged children and their families struggling with mental illness and abuse, leading them toward a positive and productive future.

Although we cannot reach every individual in need, we always place children and families at the forefront. As we continue to grow, we seek new ways to better support our beloved communities. Among our recent endeavors is our new Family Resource Center (FRC). Co-located at our headquarters in Long Beach, the FRC strives to be a safe place where all are welcome. Having opened this past December, the FRC is available to the community at large.

Funds raised through Long Beach Gives will benefit the Family Resource Center's vital programs and services. Your gift today delivers help and hope to those we serve. Whether that is through providing warm clothes for the winter or supporting family dinner nights, you have the opportunity to be a changemaker for a family in need.

WHAT YOUR GIFT WILL HELP US ACHIEVE
