What is the Children's Center of Ohio?
In March of 1999, The Children’s Center of Ohio was incorporated as a Private, not for profit, Treatment Oriented Children’s Residential Center that serves juvenile boys, at two separate facilities, aged 8 to 18. The children served are those that have been adjudicated by the court system of the state of Ohio as public, or status offenders, abuse/neglect, or dependent commitments. The Children’s Center of Ohio, Inc. provides a normalized, open home setting in which an individualized treatment approach is utilized. Emphasis is placed on teaching children new behaviors and skills, while strengthening and developing healthy relationships.
The condition of the child caring field in Ohio is such that most juveniles requiring out of home care end up in locked Department of Youth Services facilities, within inappropriate, or out of state placements. The Children’s Center of Ohio is the most appropriate alternative for these delinquent and hard to place children. There are numerous reasons that factor into this equation; need for treatment, structure, discipline, and a caring environment. The facilities in Ohio boast a less than stellar success rate with their residents. The Children’s Center of Ohio is the answer to the problems of Ohio’s children.
The mission of The Children’s Center of Ohio is to provide troubled children and their families a bridge to a valued, responsible, and productive future. To this end, we help each child find hope, vision, courage, and will to succeed. We provide stability, opportunity, and security. We encourage growth and offer a chance to develop confidence, independence, self esteem, and respect. We teach values, responsibility, and self discipline in an honest, caring environment. We believe in family, work, accountability, education, and responsible behavior. We are a catalyst for change.
