Mission

problems. We are dedicated to reducing emotional suffering and dysfunctional behavior, strengthening families,
and helping each child and adolescent achieve optimal potential.
Message from the President and Chairman
Dear Friends,
This year was marked by exciting accomplishments and changes at CGC.
In keeping with the theme of “All Together Now,” we are gratified by our longtime
partnerships with schools, medical providers, law enforcement and other
community agencies, and look forward with enthusiasm to new projects that will
maximize our impact in the community. As always, we are extraordinarily grateful
to the foundations, corporations, and philanthropically inclined individuals who
support high quality mental health services for local children and families.
During the past year, we welcomed new staff members and were happy to have
several individuals already at CGC take on new leadership roles. With strong

CGC continues to set the standard for specialized mental health services
for children, adolescents and families in our region. We were recognized
for the exceptional quality of our work at a January Enhanced Care Clinic recertification review, where program monitors
remarked that our records reflect “the uniqueness of each patient, thoughtfulness of our approach, and the rationale for
our interventions.”
Sadly, the year was also marked by tragedy. In December CGC clinicians were deployed to Newtown as part of the
State’s official Emergency Mobile Crisis network following the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Though
incidents of mass killings in schools are extremely rare, their impact is devastating, and this shocking event highlighted
the need for early identification of young people who may have a type of mental health disorder that combined with other
factors could put them at risk for engaging in targeted school violence. While early identification is key, we also caution
against stigma and generalization, knowing most individuals with mental health disorders are far more likely to harm
themselves than others and with proper treatment are no more likely than the general population to commit violent acts.
In studying targeted school violence, we came away with some crucial points to remember:
• Incidents of targeted violence at schools are rarely sudden, impulsive acts
• Prior to most incidents, other people knew about the attacker’s idea and or plan
• No accurate “profile” exists for students who engage in targeted school violence
• Most attackers engaged in some concerning behavior prior to the incident
• Many attackers felt bullied, persecuted, or injured prior to the attack
With these principles in mind, CGC launched a more proactive approach to targeted school violence by drafting
Collaborative School Violence Risk Assessment Protocols based on expert research and recommendations. Local schools
and police have agreed to work with us on this project and will use their own expertise to help customize protocols for
each community. These measures will promote the safety of students and school staff while reducing unnecessary
suspensions and expulsions that increasingly occur as an over-reactive response to students’ concerning behaviors.
For many of the more than 2,000 children CGC served last year, treatment is a transformative event that makes the
difference between a life of suffering and one filled with health and happiness. Please know your support helps turn the
hopes and dreams of local children to reality.

Side By Side
We Can Accomplish Anything
In FY13, 87% of children who completed treatment had their
symptoms stabilized or achieved improved functioning, mood,
self-concept or developmental skills.
Programs and Services
CGC provides a broad range of high-quality treatment services tailored to each child’s individual needs,
challenges and strengths. Mental health treatment for children is not simply about changing behavior, but also
about helping children feel differently about themselves and their possibilities, and helping parents to be more
competent, confident and loving in their parenting.
Crisis Programs
Child Sexual Abuse Response Team is an interagency team that integrates criminal justice and protective services
investigations while providing comprehensive strategies to resolve consequences of abuse and prevent re-victimization
Emergency Mobile Crisis Services provide immediate mental health assessment and crisis stabilization services 7 days
a week for children and adolescents experiencing serious psychiatric symptoms or severe reactions to a traumatic event.
Community Policing Partnership provides 7 day per week outreach services to child victims and “high risk” children
identified by police.
Community Emergency Response Program offers on-site counseling for emergencies impacting large groups in the
community, including natural disasters or school violence.
Ongoing Treatment Programs
Child and Family Therapy, the cornerstone of CGC for 60 years, utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach to provide
a broad range of comprehensive individualized mental health assessments and treatment services, tailored to meet the
needs of each child and family.
Child First provides intensive home-based services to decrease emotional disturbances, developmental and learning problems,
and child abuse or neglect among young children (prenatal – 6 years) living in high-risk environments.
Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy provides intensive treatment services in-home and at community sites for youngsters with
high-risk behavioral problems.
System of Care helps families of seriously emotionally disturbed, abused or neglected children meet complex needs by
helping families access integrated services to safely maintain children at home and avoid the disruption of out-of-home
placement.
Collaborating with schools,
law enforcement,
and other community partners
to promote success for children
Prevention Programs
Community Education offers seminars and workshops for the general public and professionals working with children to
increase awareness of issues affecting child development.
Community Consultation Services offer professional consultation services to area schools, courts, residential facilities
and shelters, substance abuse programs and other youth serving agencies to help them more effectively respond to the
special needs of youth.
Crisis services are available 7 days a week. To reach our Crisis Team: Dial 2-1-1
Community Partners
Collaborations with other community providers such as schools, police, doctors, and hospitals enable us to
provide more comprehensive, wrap-a-round services. Similarly, our partnership with donors enables us to
bridge the gap between what it costs CGC to provide services and what families are able to pay. Together we
make a difference in the lives of children, assuring that when a child is struggling, help is not delayed.
