FY 2021-22 Annual Report
Letter from Chair of the Board and CEO
Welcome to the 2021-22 Annual Report… Celebrating 100 Years of Positive Community IMPACT!
For the prior annual report year, we were in the throes of the COVID-19 global pandemic – services pivoted from live to telehealth and our funders truly stepped up in their support of our patients/clients. This year we are pleased to report that the clinical staff delivered services in person at all of our 11 locations. It has truly been a year of impact. As you read the various stories in this report, you will have a sense as to how the patients/clients have been impacted. Not only is there a primary impact, but also a secondary one (families and their communities) as well. Last year, we improved the lives and provided hope to 17,468 adults, children, and their families. We strive to connect the right service to the right person at the right time.
Giving Tuesday 2022
As the holidays approach, I am always reminded of what a generous philanthropic community greater Cincinnati is – one might say it is our bedrock.
Here at Central Clinic Behavioral Health, we see more and more children and their families who come to us for their mental health problems. Our clinical staff are committed to providing the right services in a timely manner. The clinic provides assessments, psychological testing, behavioral health treatment, and consultation. Patients/clients can enter through the Child and Family Treatment Center in Clifton or the CDC Behavioral Health programs in Butler or Clermont counties.
