Mental Health Resources
for Teens and Adults
Finding the right mental health resources can be overwhelming. Beacon House and The George Washington University’s Center of Excellence in Maternal & Child Health have come together to create a dedicated platform for the Edgewood community.
Our mental health resources are specifically made for teens and adults, offering culturally responsive support, evidence-based guidance, and accessible care options.
The Beacon House Effect
By investing in pathways rather than isolated programs, we strengthen individual futures while reinforcing the social fabric of the community.
A Legacy of Presence
Today, that commitment has grown into a dynamic, integrated ecosystem of education, athletics, mentoring, and community engagement — while remaining deeply rooted in the neighborhood where we began.
