rdf:langString DePelchin Children's Center, founded in 1892 in Houston, Texas, is a nonprofit provider of children's mental health, prevention and early intervention, and child welfare services. DePelchin helps more than 20,000 children and their families each year through a range of services including counseling, psychiatry, residential treatment, at-risk programs, and parent education in addition to foster care and adoption. As one of the largest centers of its kind in Houston, DePelchin coordinates over thirty different programs for children and their families at schools, community sites, and in-home as well as at DePelchin's main Memorial campus and five satellite offices. The center continues to be recognized at the state and federal level for cutting-edge programs, including a federal grant as a leading child trauma expert in Texas. The former campus for DePelchin Children's Center at 2700 Albany Street is designated as a City of Houston Landmark and Texas Historic Landmark. It is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The institution, which was founded by Kezia Payne DePelchin primarily as an orphanage for young children, quickly grew to include other services. Since its inception in 1892, DePelchin Children's Center has expanded its facilities and operations in order to offer even more services to the families of Houston.
