from the executive

president

Dear Friends,

The Child Guidance Center of Southern Connecticut (CGC) finishes another year with strength and
stability, grounded in our mission and guided by our strategic plan. As each year ushers in new challenges
and opportunities, we are pleased to report that this year we provided services to over 2,000 children
and adolescents, while remaining committed to reinforcing and strengthening our position as a center
of excellence. Despite the continuing pressures of the economy, we maintained a high level of service
while embracing opportunity for growth. Foundational to all of our plans and achievements is our
uncompromised focus on meeting the needs of the children and families who place their trust in the
expertise and compassion of our professional staff.
