About Childhelp Merv Griffin Village – Beaumont
Childhelp Merv Griffin Village in Beaumont, California was a nonprofit psychiatric facility that provided care, support, and resources for children as young as six years old and up to 22 years old. If you’re looking for a facility that works with children who have faced unique and difficult circumstances in their lives, The Village had experience working with children in foster care or who were recently adopted, as well as kids who had multiple mental health conditions.
Some of the mental health conditions that Childhelp had experience working with include depression, schizophrenia and anxiety. I would go as far as to say that trauma work was Childhelp’s specialty.
What I love most about Childhelp is how they presented intensive therapy to the kids in their care, both inpatient and outpatient. This facility offered therapy options that involved music, art, the outdoors and animals. Plus, I love how Childhelp had a school on their property, so children who were receiving the dedicated support they needed wouldn’t fall behind on schooling. I appreciate that this facility didn’t just focus on academics but also taught both practical and functional skills, which helped these kiddos to find success long after they had left the facility.
Childhelp Merv Griffin Village accepted Medciare and community grants. However, they were mainly funded by sponsorships and donations from the public. The best part about working with Childhelp’s programs? They weren’t just there to focus on supporting the children. Childhelp also offered support options for parents, whether you were the adoptive or biological parents of a child in need.
