Howard Phillips Center
A center of excellence, the Howard Phillips Center helps children, heals families and builds communities through several core programs. These services provide dignity and healing for children and families who face overwhelming challenges.
We provide children and families a support system and resources so they don’t have to face overwhelming challenges alone. Anyone who asks for help will receive it. We work with Child Protective Services and host the Children’s Advocacy Center, Teen Xpress, The Healing Tree and more.
We serve young children (0-36 months of age) and provide information and support to help parents access necessary services for their children and family such as: Case Management, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Early Intervention Services and much, much more.
