River Oak Center for Children

Established in 1966 as an organization of group homes for abused children, River Oak Center for Children has since expanded into a multi-service behavioral healthcare agency for children and their families who suffer from severe behavioral or mental health problems.

As a nonprofit corporation, River Oak is able to provide a comprehensive range of cost effective mental health services, which include neuropsychological evaluations, psychiatric assessments, therapeutic interventions, special education, and a wide range of program-related support services. Specialized treatment programs for children also include adapted physical education, art, speech and language, and recreational therapy.

In October 2005, Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation made a contribution to River Oak Center for Children. The Grant will contribute to the Capital Campaign – Roots & Wings-Rebuilding Children’s Lives, which aims to rebuild the aged and no longer adequate Residential Campus where 36 severely emotionally challenged boys and girls ages 6-12live and receive treatment and educational experience. Specifically, the funding will help make Phase 1 of the construction project – a new twenty-bed residential unit – a reality.

River Oak Center for Children is committed to helping children and families successfully manage life's challenges through a wide range of behavioral health and social services by providing prevention, treatment and caring support. River Oak advocates bringing outstanding and innovative programs to children and families in need.
