Century of Giving

Family Service & Guidance Center was created in 1904 to assist Topeka flood victims. Over the years, the agency has evolved from a social welfare agency into the the Midwest's premier provider of mental and behavioral health care serves to children and families. One thing has not changed, however, our commitment to children. FSGC has earned a reputation over a century of service for being at the forefront of identifying community needs and implementing programming to meet those needs.

The difficult economic times in which we live have caused a significant increase in the demand for our services. Challenges like recession, unemployment and lay-offs create a tremendous amount of stress and potential conflict among families. More family stress and conflict means more demand for our mental and behavioral health care services.

Due to the magnitude and urgency of the need for expanded mental health services in our community, the FSGC Foundation has embarked on a three-year, $1 million Securing Brighter Futures Campaign. This campaign will see us through the tough financial times in which we find ourselves, and it will fortify FSGC for generations to come against changing tides and trends in funding.

The Securing Brighter Futures Campaign will enable FSGC to continue a century-old tradition of innovation and collaboration in the provision of new mental and behavioral healthcare services and programs.
