The Institute for Child and Family Health (ICFH) - formerly the Children's Psychiatric Center (CPC) - is a private, not-for-profit organization that has been providing health, behavioral health, educational, and prevention services to the children, adolescents, and families of Miami-Dade County since 1945. It is one of the oldest and largest community health centers exclusively dedicated to the well being of children and families in the state of Florida. ICFH serves over 30,000 children, adolescents, and families per year.

Services Offered

ICFH is one of the oldest, largest, and most respected providers of counseling services in the State of Florida. Our child and family counseling programs are designed to enhance individual and family strengths in order to achieve improvements in behavior, relationships, and/or emotional well being. We provide high quality counseling services to children, adolescents and families who are coping with a wide range of issues - from relatively simple behavior and adjustment problems to more serious conditions of depression, anxiety, child abuse, and trauma. Services are provided in the family's home, the child's school, or in one of our three outpatient centers. Increasingly - with funding cut backs and other barriers - our center is one of the few that still offers these essential services to needy and low income families. Access to high quality counseling services is especially critical for children and adolescents, as proper and timely treatment during childhood often serves to decrease the risk later in life for more serious mental health disorders, relationship problems, school failure, delinquency, and substance abuse.

Fees and Payment

ICFH accept and is funded by Medicaid, and also provides the availability of appropriate auxiliary aids and services at no cost to our deaf or hard-of-hearing clients and their companions.
