The Guidance Center, Long Beach

since 1946, the guidance center has been a beacon and provider of hope for our community’s most disadvantaged children and families. our diverse team of dedicated, compassionate individuals annually leads more than 3,000 children and families struggling with mental health issues and abuse toward positive and productive futures through comprehensive mental health treatment. headquartered in long beach, the guidance center serves the communities of compton, greater long beach, lynwood, paramount, san pedro, and avalon on catalina island. we envision a community where all children have the help they need to be healthy and happy so we partner with local organizations to ensure that no child is without support – wherever they may be. you can find members of our team out in the community meeting with children on school campuses within the long beach, los angeles, paramount and lynwood unified school districts, collaborating with staff on patient care plans at miller children’s and women’s hospital, and counseling families at century villages at cabrillo. as a founding member, the guidance center plays a key leadership role in the long beach safety net collaborative. we’re also active members of the long beach human trafficking task force. interested in helping your community and joining our team? we’d love to hear from you! email our human resources department to start the conversation: humanresource@tgclb.org.
