We are accountable for providing treatment which helps clients to grow, thrive, and integrate within their community. We continually evaluate and take steps to improve quality, efficiency and effectiveness to ensure the best programs and services available for the community, the families, and the children. We Believe. . . Children thrive best in a safe environment that provides consistency, structure and nurturing. Family Focused - The total family unit is the focus of treatment.
Families possess the inherent capacity to heal themselves.
A systems approach is the most effective way to support families and address social problems. Children and families respond best to treatment that addresses the community and culture in which they live. It is our duty to heighten community and legislative awareness of the difficult challenges that face families. Children between the ages of five and 13 who are functioning academically at the kindergarten through eighth-grade level and within the normal range of intelligence are accepted for treatment regardless of religious affiliation, race, color, sex or nationality. In recognition of the excellent treatment CCH Tennyson Center provides children and families, the Child Welfare League of America ranked CCH Tennyson Center among the top five percent of agencies serving children and families in North America.
