Making care accessible

It’s no secret children’s mental health is at crisis levels. Barriers to care can make it frustrating for caregivers. That’s where Washburn Center stands up to serve and create access so families get care when it’s most needed.

Learn the Washburn Difference

Compassionate mental health care
wherever you and your child are.

We are 100% focused on children ― at every stage.
We help with whatever life serves up. Working with families across a continuum of mental health care to meet a child at any point in their life.

Infants through teens

At home, school, clinic, hospitals

Continuum of care

Why are they acting that way?

It’s hard to watch a child struggle and a challenge to understand in the heat of a moment. You hold the best insight to your child. Their behavior is communication. Take the first step and take the first step toward healing.

Assessment

You’re not alone.

As a community-based mental health care agency, Washburn Center is positioned to meet families and children where they are – and advocate for comprehensive mental health care in Twin Cities communities.

Who We Serve

You help a family hear: “Yes, we can help.”

Generous donors make this mission thrive.

Our mission is unique – and how the work gets funded is equally unique.

Stalled reimbursement rates only cover approximately 60% of the cost of serving children and families. Help us meet the skyrocketing need.

Kids are resilient. They come into this world wired to adapt and grow — yet sometimes life creates setbacks. When these setbacks add up, it can interrupt or delay development and affect their lifelong mental health. See how our team has sprung into action for kids and their families.
