The organizations mission is to improve the lives of those it serves through integrated behavioral health, primary care, early learning, and workforce development.

Headquartered in urban Cleveland, Ohio, and established in 1970, The Centers for Families and Children (The Centers) began as a community mental health center, delivering treatment services to individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness. Today, as a result of the 2017 affiliation with Circle Health Services (formerly The Free Clinic of Greater Cleveland) The Centers is a comprehensive, $58 Million, human service network. The Centers services are easily accessible, with 530 employees, at 14 locations throughout Cuyahoga County including: five, federally qualified health centers, seven, early childhood education campuses and two, workforce development training sites. Each year, the organization is developing solutions that promote economic security, health, stability and self-sufficiency for 25,000 vulnerable, low-income and medically underserved Northeast, Ohio residents.
