About Seton Family Center

History

Seton Family Center (SFC) is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization developed in 1989 under the auspices of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. Its major goal is to provide affordable and time-effective mental health services to families. Its purpose is to enable families to learn effective techniques for solving problems through individual and family counseling, play therapy for children, parenting skills, and diagnostic services.

In order to affirm the dignity of individuals seeking help, the environment of the Seton Family Center has always been carefully designed to be welcoming and family-friendly. The Center was first housed in a single-dwelling residence in East Price Hill and recently moved to a warm and inviting office setting near Western Hills.   

Coming into a home-like setting also affirms the wellness concept that most families are basically healthy, but have learned self-defeating interactions that  need an outside source to change. Since its beginning, the client population has  increased four-fold, with 47% of referrals coming from former clients. We attribute this high level of satisfaction to our expert clinical staff and the comprehensive nature of our programs. 

Mission Statement

Within the healing ministry of the Sisters of Charity, the Seton Family Center is an innovative approach to family mental health services.

The Seton Family Center seeks to strengthen familial bonds by helping to identify common values, by healing brokenness, and by enabling individual family members to live in healthy relationships.

Utilizing a natural family setting, the Seton Family Center promotes a wellness concept affirming the dignity of each family member and advancing the healing process.
