Mission: Millhill empowers children and families through educational and behavioral health services.
Activities: Educational Services at Millhill include Preschool and Summer Enrichment Camps. Millhill is one of the few programs in Trenton accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and Grow NJ. Children who attend Millhill's summer literacy camp maintain or improve their reading level during a time when children typically lose 1 to 3 reading levels. Children who attend the Millhill Preschool program perform better on standardized testing through the 4th grade. 230 children attend Millhill educational programs.
Counseling Services at Millhill include Individual, Family and Group Counseling, Psychiatric Services, and Medication Monitoring for individuals age 4 to 65. Client families consistently report behavioral improvements in their children after receiving therapy from our licensed therapists. Adults report improved functioning and sense of well-being. 750 individuals and their families benefit from Millhill counseling programs.
Family Support Services at Millhill include Family Assessment and Support (FAS), Foster and Relative Care Support, Medical Home Link (MMHL) and Health Literacy Programming. Parent participants in the FAS program report that they trust the Millhill staff with the confidentiality of their family issues. Children who receive developmental testing through MMHL are more likely to succeed in kindergarten. Children who receive Therapeutic Intervention showed marked improvement when dealing with emotional challenges after intervention. 1,140 children and their families benefit from Family Support Services.
