The Guidance Center and Riverside Community Care – Meeting Place Program Spotlight


 

The Guidance Center and Riverside Community Care – Meeting Place Program Spotlight – From pregnancy through age 22, The Guidance Center (www.guidancectr.org) in Cambridge, MA, offers a continuum of family services which focuses on prevention, intervention and family support. We partner with parents and community colleagues to ensure that children stay on a positive developmental track. Our mission supports the desire of all parents — to see their children thrive in school and imagine hopeful futures. Every day, The Guidance Center receives referrals from hospitals, schools, pediatricians and families who don’t know where else to turn. We are able to provide needed services because of the generosity of people who see the value in providing top-quality support to families regardless of their ability to pay. At our 2012 Gala, we shared this video highlighting one, among many, of our highly effective and cutting edge programs at The Guidance Center – this video focuses on the Meeting Place, a supervised visitation program. These children and families will share their stories with you – their courage and resilience are especially inspiring. You can hear their stories first-hand by watching the video.
