Bertha Abess Children’s Center, Inc. (BACC)
Inducted 1994This organization has provided over 154,000 volunteer hours and more than $4.5 million dollars of in-kind services to their partner school. The Center is a non-profit comprehensive day treatment program which serves approximately 1,200 emotionally handicapped (EH) and severely emotionally disturbed (SED) Miami-Dade County students. The blending of M-DCPS teachers with BACC clinical staff makes it possible to provide high quality programs for students who would otherwise need residential care or short-term hospital stays. Students stay in school and learn to become productive citizens. In addition, BACC provides parent/guardian education and training, staff development, and student monitoring and growth.
