Catholic Charities began providing services in Geauga County in 1974 to meet the emotional and social service needs of the Geauga community. This continues today through the programs for mental health counseling, employment services and support for older adults.
Catholic Charities Community Services of Geauga County continues to develop new service responses to emerging needs in the community. The goal is always to work in collaboration with the family, engaging their strengths and resources, to help the family develop coping skills
