New Horizons Community Mental Health Center, Inc. has provided services to children and families since its inception in 1974. The goal of the agency has always been to provide sensitive, culturally appropriate mental health services to members of the community. In 1981, the agency received funding from the National Institute of Mental Health to provide specialized services to children, adolescents and their families through New Horizons CMHC Child and Adolescent Services. This program continues to operate at the agency. Families are offered an array of mental services including screening and assessments, psychiatric and psychological evaluations, counseling, parenting skill training, case management services. Psychiatric evaluations, medication maintenance, psychological evaluations, school consultations, educational/clinical workshops and referral services. New Horizons Community Mental Health Center has not only provided services for decades, but has involved itself in community organization, neighborhood development, coordination of human service providers, and the bringing of resources to meet the residents' needs. Ethnic teams have been located in culturally identified neighborhoods (Allapattah, Overtown, Liberty City, Little Haiti, Brownsville, Wynwood), thereby ensuring that services were and will continue to be neighborhood focused. A family center was opened in the Opa Locka community in 1999. The agency was instrumental in the founding of the center for Family and Child Enrichment, which serves the community.
