Mental health provider Children’s Center has taken steps to meet kids where they’re at and, as it happens, some of them hang out at Boys & Girls clubhouses.

Legacy Health System recently granted $150,000 — or $50,000 over three years — to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Washington to go toward part-time therapists at three of its clubhouses.
