Serving our Community Faithfully Since 1944! Suncoast Center promotes our mission with services focusing on three core areas, Child Abuse, Behavioral Health, and Family Stability.
1. We seek to prevent child abuse providing prevention & education services, forensic exams, and treatment for both individuals and their families.
2. The agency actively works to eliminate the stigma of mental illness
and promote an understanding of this treatable, manageable disease, while providing state of the art services.
3. Suncoast Center recognizes that family stability is a positive and protective factor for families in our community and is correlated with school and employment success, and a reduction in child welfare intervention and criminal involvement. Suncoast Center has 11 office and 32 service locations within collaborative partnership sites. We strive to provide the right services at the right time, at a location as convenient as possible for our clients. In addition to our outpatient service offices, we provide a broad array of family services within clients' homes. Suncoast Center provides services to over 22,000 unduplicated primary and secondary clients, and to more than 45,000 individuals through events, awareness, outreach and advocacy.Suncoast Center Total Family Strategy image
