Ann Martin Center bridges the gap between education and mental health by providing exceptional clinic and school-based services that strengthen academic achievement, promote healthy development and address barriers to learning. We provide the skills and support that are critical in nurturing happy and healthy children. The agency is named in memory of Ann Martin, MD, a pioneering behavioral pediatrician and youth advocate. Dr. Martin was among the first in California to lead research on psychological and educational intervention for social-emotional problems in childhood. We have a multi-disciplinary staff that includes learning specialists, psychologists, social workers and marriage family therapists.
