Services Services are not time-limited, but are offered as long as there is a need, and the child and family are able and willing to participate. The Banyan Family Center staff reflects the ethnic diversity of our community. Working as a team, they provide individualized, holistic services to children and families. A primary mission is to offer training opportunities to students and interns in the mental health field. Banyan Family Center services are often provided by graduate and post-graduate students from the University of South Florida and other universities.
Students work with, and are supervised by, members of the professional staff.
The Banyan Family Center is part of the Department of Child and Family Studies of the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute at the University of South Florida.
