Lacy Clay Center for Children’s Health

The Lacy Clay Center for Children’s Health, located on Delmar Boulevard in Saint Louis, Missouri, provides specialized pediatric services designed to support the emotional, behavioral, and overall well-being of children and adolescents. Operated through Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers Behavioral Health Services, formerly known as ALM Hopewell Center, the facility delivers a range of outpatient and school-based programs to help young people thrive both academically and socially. With services that include after-school programming, therapy and counseling, and a supportive drop-in center, the Lacy Clay Center offers a safe and structured environment for children to access the care they need.

The center places a strong emphasis on evidence-based therapies tailored to children and families. Programs such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and PEAK Trauma Response provide targeted support for managing behavioral health concerns and addressing the effects of trauma. In addition, addiction recovery services are available for youth who may be struggling with early substance use challenges. By integrating clinical care with family-focused support and school-based services, the Lacy Clay Center for Children’s Health ensures that children and adolescents receive comprehensive treatment designed to promote long-term stability and healthier futures.
