Our Commitment to The Communities We Serve

Our programs and services remain unchanged.

Dear Friends,

We deeply appreciate your continued support and partnership as we navigate recent challenges. At the San Diego Center for Children, we remain committed to supporting children and families facing mental health challenges, particularly those affected by racism, stigma, inequality, and social injustice.

We recognize that factors such as immigration status and gender inequality—whether experienced by youth or their families—directly impact the mental health and well-being of those we serve.

Our mission is rooted in serving those most in need in our community, whether due to individual, social, or economic need, without prejudice or judgment. We seek to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where all people can feel safe, valued, and empowered in their healing and growth.

We are proud to stand as allies to those whose voices have often been silenced, and we continue to advocate for equity and justice for every child, family, and community we serve.

Together, we can help break down barriers and create lasting change.

Thank you for being a part of this important work and here are some action steps you can take with us to support children and families across our San Diego community:

Take Action
Get Resources
Make a Difference

Cheryl Rode, Ph.D.
