Good morning.

For more than a century, Central Clinic has been dedicated to improving the lives of children, families, and adults, inspiring them to make meaningful change, while addressing their behavioral health challenges. Our patients/clients thrive because people like you invest in our mission. As we enter into spring, we are reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon and are grateful for the support of our donors, foundations, and the local community.

Today, I share with you the journey of Marcus*, a 12-year-old boy who connected with our Child & Family Treatment Center for therapeutic mentoring support. Because of your support we are making a profound difference in his and so many others’ lives.

Before coming to Central Clinic, Marcus experienced numerous traumas, which caused regular outbursts and other behavioral challenges at home and school. As he engaged in services, he slowly matured and progressed into a young man who is now back in public schools, building positive friendships and achieving academic success.

“I love the mentoring program because Jeff is nice, and he helps me do what I need to do. My outlook at school has improved a lot. This is my first time in public school since kindergarten and Jeff has helped me prepare for that. I can now accept “no” and can correct my school work without getting mad.”

Marcus’ grandfather shared that the therapeutic mentoring program helps people make good choices and become better people.

This is just one story – there are so many more. Our impact is far and wide because of you. We would love for you to consider a generous gift in support of Marcus and everyone who receives behavioral health services at Central Clinic Behavioral Health.

Enclosed is a remittance envelope with easy ways for you to make a financial contribution to be allocated for overall mission support.

Thank you for the many ways that you impact the people we serve.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Mages, PhD, LPCC-S
President & CEO
