Andrus Children Center

Andrus (Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial) is a private, non-profit organization that helps secure strong, promising futures for children, families and communities by promoting stability, increasing resilience and rebuilding hope.

We specialize in teaching children and families the skills they need to express and cope with strong emotions. We increase the well of resources available to them to manage the impact of adversity and particularly severe emotional, behavioral and mental health issues.

Guided by our Sanctuary Model^(SM), we offer a range of preventive and restorative services for children and families across the Tri-State area. Our professional training programs, clinical research, and evaluation and advocacy efforts extend our reach around the globe.

At Andrus we believe every child, family and community deserves to feel safe, valued and loved. Inspired by the values and vision of our founder, John Andrus, we continually seek innovative ways to improve our services and develop new models of care that will strengthen families and give every child hope for the future.

Andrus is committed to providing equal access to its programs and facilities without regard to race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or ability to pay.
