our children's mental health need is growing

Mental health is the health care crisis of this generation.  Dayton Children's has been racing to keep up with demand, but the need is overwhelming and we must do. more.  And we need your help.  With your support, this new building will create a continuum of care that will enable us to: 

​

• Improve continuity of care by co-locating a full continuum of mental health services (inpatient, outpatient and crisis services)

• Increase number of children leaving crisis center and inpatient until who are connected to outpatient therapy

• Expand bridge therapy to help kids connect to timely therapy services

• Recruit and retain mental health staff

• Provide customized outdoor space that is critical to healing
