Established in 1975 alongside Columbus Children’s Psychiatric Hospital, Saint Vincent Family Services delivers trauma-informed behavioral health care to children from infancy through high school across Ohio. Based in Columbus, the center offers
outpatient therapy, telehealth, in-home and in-school services, and 24/7
residential treatment. With a mission to help families build bright futures, their team surrounds each child with skilled, compassionate support to strengthen emotional wellness, behavior, and family connection.
Each child begins care with a comprehensive evaluation that shapes an individualized treatment plan. Licensed clinicians provide individual, group, and
family therapy to build coping skills, emotional expression, and healthy relationships. Services include psychiatric care, medication management, and OhioRISE care coordination. Preventive programs in schools and early learning centers promote emotional development, with bilingual services available for Spanish-speaking families.
Residential clients receive 24-hour care in a nurturing, home-like setting that balances structure with warmth. Families are active participants in treatment, attending therapy and staying connected through regular updates. On-site primary care through The Ohio State University integrates physical and mental health services. Across every setting, children are met with encouragement, safety, and the tools they need to grow and thrive.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Saint Vincent Family Services provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
