Washburn Center for Children is a leading children’s mental health center, caring for a wide variety of children’s needs associated with anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties and trauma.

 

The 141-year-old nonprofit offers critical mental health intervention to help children - and their families - realize hope. Washburn Center for Children serves almost 4,000 children ages 0-18 and approximately 9,000 family members each year. Washburn Center’s three office locations – Brooklyn Park, Edina, and Minneapolis – serve the entire Twin Cities metro area. The nonprofit also offers in-home services, and its school-based program serves 50+ schools in the Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Minneapolis, Savage, Burnsville and Eagan school districts.

The Washburn Allina Acute Response Model focuses on children/adolescents referred through the emergency department or inpatient unit(s) at area Fairview’s hospitals.  The program provides short term, culturally based, and individualized services in the client’s home, schools, community and/or Children’s premises.  The services we provided are in person and include assessment for appropriateness of services, crisis intervention, care coordination, case management, bridging to other services, therapy, parent psychoeducation and skills trainings.  The purpose of this program is to assist in transitioning clients to less intensive services, actively work on safety planning, engage other service providers, make referrals for longer term care and improve or maintain children and families’ overall functioning to reduce future out-of-home placements and improve stability over time.
