MISSION STATEMENT
Lincoln Child Center enables vulnerable and emotionally troubled children and their families to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

PHILOSOPHY
As Lincoln Child Center’s programs and services have grown and changed over its 125 years as an organization, the underlying philosophy, values and beliefs that drive our mission have remained.

We believe that all vulnerable and emotionally troubled children need and deserve the opportunity to receive supports and services that will help them to be successful at home, in school and in their community.

We believe that children and families heal through engagement, relationship and learning new ways of coping with their unique challenges.

We believe that all aspects of the child’s life – family, culture, community, education, religion, ethnicity – must be woven into the treatment process in order to have a lasting impact

PRINCIPLES OF CARE
Strengths-Based – we honor diversity and view all children and families as having abilities, interests, and skills. We will draw on and build on these strengths in our work with children and families.

Family-Centered – we will actively engage and partner with the whole family and we will ensure that parents/caregivers are integral to our services, and that children are connected to their families of origin and communities whenever possible.

Best Practices – we will utilize best practices, which include evidence-based practices that are sensitive to diverse cultures and communities to achieve positive outcomes with children and families.

Integrated Continuum of Care – we will provide an array of services based on the individual needs of children and families that will utilize a proactive clinical care team that includes interagency and community collaboration.

Early Intervention and Prevention – we will be focused on providing early intervention and prevention services whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of children moving to higher levels of care.
