The Wilder Child Guidance Clinic is an outpatient mental health clinic that has served children and youth, ages birth to 17, since 1924 with personal, social, family or developmental difficulty.
These children are often those whose lives are the most troubled, and who have not experienced success in other programs. Over the years, we have added programs that reach out to children in their schools or work with families in their homes in order to provide services where they will be most helpful. We are committed to doing whatever it takes to help children and their families move in a positive direction.
Services include psychiatric evaluation/medication management, psychological evaluation, family community support, and individual, family and group therapies. The Child Guidance Clinic also is part of a Ramsey County consortium that provides children's mental health case management services for high-need children or youth who may require a range of mental health care services. Referral to this program is through Ramsey County Human Services' Children's Intake.
The clinic operates the following programs and projects:
