We’re excited to share that the new playground at Child Guidance & Family Solutions is officially open! Our Incredible Years® (IY®) puppets were among the first to check out the new equipment, and the playground is ready to provide our young clients with a welcoming space to play, explore and grow.

At CGFS, play is about much more than having fun. The new playground provides a safe, therapeutic environment where children can build confidence, reduce anxiety and practice emotional regulation through active play. It’s another way we can support children’s mental health and create positive opportunities for healing and development.

We are incredibly grateful to the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Board of Summit County, Summit County Land Bank and Ohio Department of Behavioral Health for helping make this new playground a reality. Their support has helped create a special space where children can learn, play and grow.
