The Children’s Center of Ohio believes that each child has infinite
potential for success. The unified goal existing between the counties we serve
and The Children's Center of Ohio must be to provide children with opportunities
that lead to success. It is the belief that crisis must be stabilized, responsibility
must be taken, beliefs challenged, and behaviors altered, to create an environment
for change. The cycle cannot be broken unless the existing behaviors that
perpetuate its advance are eliminated. This change must occur before the problematic
behaviors can be replaced with pro-social attitudes and behaviors. The mandate
for success cannot be limited to distance, time, or convenience.
What was your biggest success at the Children's Center of Ohio?
Family involvement,
county proximity, and community worker availability are important factors.
However, we have shown time after time that if core issues are not resolved,
then all other factors will remain just that – FACTORS – until
the child is able to see the same potential we see, wraparound services will
be useless. At The Children’s Center of Ohio we have designed our program
to facilitate the progression of change, the change that is lasting, and the
change we have been fostering since our beginnings.
