Company History
Child Guidance & Family Solutions (CG&FS) was established in 1939 by The Junior League of Akron, as ‘Child Guidance Center’ for the purpose of relieving the suffering of children who faced mental, emotional and behavioral health challenges. In 2003, Akron Child Guidance merged with Family Solutions to become Child Guidance & Family Solutions, combining their rich histories and creating the opportunity to serve more families.
