Lincoln Child Center

Lincoln Child Center (LCC) has provided mental health services to children and families living in Oakland and the Bay Area through residential, education and community based programs, since it opened in 1883.

LCC becomes a temporary family and home for orphans or troubled children of parents who can no longer provide for them. These children are often abused and neglected.

LCC's residential programs provide excellent structured care, extensive counseling and a sense of belonging to enable the children to return to their own homes or foster care. LCC's services also reach into the community with prevention and early intervention programs for at-risk children.

All of their programs and support systems are designed to encourage positive life choices, improve self-confidence, promote healthy development and strengthen the family. Strong families raise children who know how to function in their homes, schools and neighborhoods, making communities safe for everyone.

LCC helps children between the ages of six and fourteen work through their emotional problems, recover from their painful experiences and learn how to build a foundation for a bright and successful future.
