About Applewood

About

From our roots as a school, an orphanage and a guidance clinic, through our evolution to the large behavioral health and social service organization we are today, our services for children and families have spanned over 175 years. In the early days, we schooled and cared for approximately 25 children. Today we serve nearly 7,000 children and their families each year. We invite you to explore our website to learn about the services and programs that we offer.
