Children all over Delaware are struggling with mental health challenges that negatively affect the way they bond with their parents, manage their emotions, relate to friends and family and perform in school.  Without intervention, these same children grow up to be adults who have difficulty developing and maintaining strong relationships with others, handling anger and stress, providing a stable, loving environment for their children, succeeding in their jobs and functioning well in society.  Thus begins a strong and vicious intergenerational cycle of dysfunction that affects not just the child and family, but the whole community.

Fortunately, Delaware Guidance Services for Children & Youth, Inc. stands ready with the right help at the right time.  With five locations statewide offering a variety of programs for every level of need, DGS is able to help children overcome obstacles, families rebuild relationships, and communities become stronger.
