Smith and the provided therapist has brought great light at the end of the tunnel for my son whom faced many difficult health challenges and needed someone who actually cared and spent valuable time with him. I would recommend Smith to anyone with a child in need.

About Us
Report
Academic achievement is strongly linked to emotional and behavioral health, and for students who struggle with behavioral and emotional challenges, their academic performance can suffer. Some studies suggest that 12 to 30 percent of U.S. school-age children and youth experience at least moderate behavioral, social, or emotional problems.
Our Beginnings
Report
Christina G. Smith Community Mental Health Foundation was created in memory of Dr. Christina G. Smith, a physician lost prematurely due to a tragedy. Dr. Smith's vision for the treatment of those with mental illness is the guiding force of C.G. Smith. Dr. Smith was born in the United States but spent her early childhood years in India where her father was a missionary.
