Our History

50 years ago, CCTC was founded as a research demonstration project in the basement of the Franklin Institute. Over the past half century CCTC has been a safe place for healing for over 25,000 children in crisis.

We meet children where they are and help them to reach their full potential regardless of their challenges.
