Washburn Center nurtures every child and family's well-being and full potential through transformative children's mental health care. Washburn Center for Children leads Minnesota in child-centered mental health care with a broad and deep spectrum of outpatient services across the continuum of care. The mental health care kids receive at Washburn Center is a safety-net. Community-based mental health care is for all kids and families who need us, period.As an agency, Washburn is balancing community needs that are not going anywhere, financial sustainability and taking care of our staff so they develop and grow sustaining this mission for this generation of children and those to come. In 2023, our therapists met with 4,269 children for 81,268 hours of therapy in family homes, schools, hospitals and community centers.

Children and their families are served in three office locations Brooklyn Park, Edina and Minneapolis as well as in-home, in nearly 60 partner schools, in more than 20 hospitals and clinics, and in our communities. Washburn Center has more than 100 community-based therapists driving into neighborhoods, sitting in homes and meeting families where they are. Comprehensive and evidence-based children's mental health services include assessment, evaluation, individual and family therapy, psychological evaluations, psychiatry, and care coordination. Services are designed to develop skills, navigate social, emotional and behavioral development as well as connect families with resources to help children reach their full potential.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
