Emily Griffith Center
Griffith now specializes in providing a full continuum of therapeutic treatment and academic services for boys and girls, and families.
We are licensed and nationally accredited to serve children from birth to 21 years of age. We provide community programs such as family preservation, day treatment, education, truancy prevention and counseling services.
Griffith Centers also provides residential based programs such as foster care, respite services, foster to adopt homes, group homes, residential treatment (staff secure and open) and independent living services. Today we are able to provide healing and hope to thousands as a nonprofit agency.
The Foundation supports the Community Based Activities Program (CBCA). The majority of the students enrolled in our school have some type of learning disability so classroom learning isn't always the most effective. We created the CBCA program about 4 years ago and since then have found that our students are learning better, have become more engaged in school and our graduation rates and/or transfer back into their public school have increased.
