Did you know that 25% of the children treated at Clarity Child Guidance Center are referred to us by Child Protective Services or the juvenile justice system? These children, many traumatized, often arrive with only the clothes on their backs. Your support provides needed items, such as undergarments and toiletries. Will you help? You can donate here ClarityDonate.org. Thank you!
