Our Mission
Suncoast Center’s mission is to provide the most effective and efficient behavioral health and social support services to adults, children, and their families to facilitate the highest level of functioning of the individual in the family, on the job, and in the community.

Celebrating 60 Years of Providing Services to our Community!
Suncoast Center for Community Mental Health, Inc.’s history extends back to 1944 when the Child Guidance Clinic was formed. From that beginning, the organization has evolved into today’s outpatient community mental health and social support services center, serving children and adults of all ages. Many changes and advancements have occurred in the treatment of mental illness since 1944, but one thing has not changed — the mental health needs of our community. These needs continue to be the driving force of our organization, just as they have been for 60 years. We are a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization comprised of carefully-selected professionals who are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to meet individual and family needs.

Services:
Services provided by Suncoast Center are client-centered and strength-based.
Suncoast Center for Community Mental Health, Inc. works actively toward eliminating the stigma associated with mental illness and to promote an understanding of mental illness as a treatable, manageable disease.

Summary:
Suncoast Center takes every possible opportunity – from public presentations to special events – to educate the community and provide an understanding of what it is like for individuals coping with mental illnesses, and the effects that it has on their families. Suncoast Center aims to stop prejudice and discrimination based on mental disability by promoting and working toward recovery of mental illness through medication management and social and employment roles and activities. Enhancing the quality of life by meeting the individual’s basic needs allows those we serve to recover and become productive members of our community.

Suncoast Center provides mobile medical services through its Homeless Outreach program and also has a service location at the Community Health Centers at Johnnie Ruth Clark .
