Center for Youth Wellness

Changing outcomes for urban children and youth

A one-stop health center for urban children and families in San Francisco

The Center for Youth WellnessOpens new window, slated to open in early 2013, is a new initiative to build a one-stop health and wellness center for urban children and families in San Francisco. The Center for Youth Wellness will combine pediatrics with mental health services, educational support, family support, research, and best practices in child abuse response, all under one roof.

With both public and private support, the Center for Youth Wellness will coordinate the services of multiple partner agencies to give children a safe and accessible place to increase their resilience to adverse life experiences and improve their wellbeing.
