History

Established in 1953 as a response to a tragic crime committed by two young teens, The Effort has focused on overcoming threats to families by providing child and family therapy, crisis intervention, child abuse prevention, domestic violence prevention, and other health and social services. We have long recognized the effect the breakdown of the family has on the individual and the community. For over 50 years we have developed quality mental health and social service programs that address the changing needs of our community.
