ChildSavers is the only nonprofit in Virginia using a coordinated prevention and intervention model to prepare children for lifelong learning, address mental health, and recover from trauma. Nearly 100 years ago, ChildSavers was established as the Children's Memorial Clinic in memory of Dr. McGuire Newton, one of Richmond's first pediatricians.
Our children's mental health services team provides child play therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric services for kids in greater Richmond. Connect with a trusted child therapist today through our Outpatient, School-Based, Virtual, and Immediate Response therapy options! If your child is experiencing a mental health emergency, please call our Immediate Response Helpline at (804) 305-2420.
Our team of child development experts provides free or low-cost training, technical assistance, and resources for child care providers to deliver quality care.

ChildSavers100 is our strategic vision to double our children's mental health and development services by our 100th anniversary. You can help make this possible! When we were founded in 1924, serving 20,000 children per year was unthinkable - perhaps impossible. With your help, we will do just that.

I located this place via my employer. I contacted them early October 2020 seeking grief counseling for my 5 year daughter. We lost her grandmother (my mother) to COVID April of 2020 and she is not taking it well. The 1st representative advised me she couldn’t really say how long we would be waitlisted and the waitlist is based off of insurance. Now I don’t know exactly how that works but it sounds terrible and a little unethical. I’ve been following up occasionally to no avail. My last message was sent 12/30/2020 and I didn’t hear anything back from the person I was assigned to.

My son is autistic and certain challenges come along with it. Child Savers is phenomenal at what they do, although they specialize in helping children through traumatic events they can help children through all kinds of struggles. Play therapy seems to be a favorite of most kids. They have a plethora of puppets, toys, games, a sand tray room that I'd like to play in and I'm ....well I'm old. Lol they have a lot of experienced therapists and I've yet to meet someone there who isn't super friendly
