Join us for the Hopes & Dreams Gala! This special evening brings our community together to celebrate the life-changing mental health care offered at The Baker Center for Children and Families—and the hopes and dreams of the children, teens, and families whose lives we have touched. Proceeds will benefit our programs and services, including the Center for Effective Therapy, Camp Baker, Next Step: College Success, and the Manville School. Hope starts with you!
