They're yours. They're mine. They're OURS. They belong to all of us and it's our responsibility to ensure that the childhood which was taken away from them is given back before it's too late. We invite you to join us in our mission to break the cycle of abuse once and for all so that we can be sure that, one day, no child will become a victim of abuse or neglect.

Our Mission

Tennyson Center works with children, youth, and their families to overcome a variety of life crises, including abuse and neglect.

Tennyson Center is a community of people dedicated to serving children and youth and strengthening families.  As professionals and concerned citizens we strive to provide competent and caring treatment, education, and advocacy services that are community-based, family-focused, and child-centered.

The agency provides services to children and families regardless of religion, creed, age, race, color, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, disability status, or military status.

Child-Centered
Early intervention while children are still in their families is the best time to solve difficult problems. Early intervention has a therapeutic purpose to meet the child's treatment and education needs. Children thrive best in a safe environment that provides consistency, structure and nurturing.

Family-Focused
The total family unit is the focus of treatment. Families possess the inherent capacity to heal themselves. A systems approach is the most effective way to support families and address social problems.

Community-Based
We collaborate constructively with others in the community. Children and families respond best to treatment that addresses the community and culture in which they live. It is our duty to heighten community and legislative awareness of the difficult challenges that face families.
