About Seton Family Center

History

Seton Family Center (SFC) is a 501(c)3 not for profit organziation developed in 1989 under the auspices of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. Its major goal is to provide affordable and time-effective mental health services to families. Its purpose is to enable families to learn effective techniques for solving problems through family counseling, play therapy for children, parenting skills, and diagnostic services.

In order to affirm the dignity of individuals seeking help, the facility is housed in a family residence in East Price Hill.

Coming into a home-like setting also affirms the wellness concept that most families are basically healthy, but have learned self-defeating interactions that need an outside source to change.

Since its beginning, the client population has increased four-fold, with 47% of referrals coming from former clients. We attribute this high level of satisfaction to the comprehensive nature of our unique programs.

Mission Statement

Within the healing ministry of the Sisters of Charity, the Seton Family Center is an innovative approach to family mental health services.

The Seton Family Center seeks to strengthen familial bonds by helping to identify common values, by healing brokenness, and by enabling individual family members to live in healthy relationships.
