Thank you for watching and learning more about Ellison Center!

TOGETHER WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Ellison Center is a non-profit agency dedicated to promoting the social and emotional health of families through prevention, education, and intervention. Knowing earlier intervention leads to better long-term outcomes, a group of infant and early childhood mental health professionals formed Ellison Center to meet the needs of families with young children in our community.

We are currently seeking generous champions that will help us expand our office space so that we can serve more families. Contact us today if you would like to learn more! Tracy@ellisoncenter.org or Chris@ellisoncenter.org
