Helping Children Thrive In Childhood—Mind, Body, and Spirit
At Mifflin Sharks Behavioral Health, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where youth ages 6–17 can thrive. We are committed to strengthening the whole child—through mentorship, recreation, competitive training, and a strong concentration on mental health and emotional well-being. Our licensed professionals and mentors guide children in building resilience, confidence, and self-worth, ensuring they not only survive life's challenges but develop the inner tools to grow into healthy, grounded adults.
đź§ Program Description
Mifflin Sharks' programs are designed to nurture both mental wellness and personal growth, integrating behavioral health services into every aspect of recreation and mentorship.

Our licensed social workers and therapists provide individual and group sessions, trauma-informed care, and behavioral health activities. We create safe spaces for children to explore their emotions, practice coping skills, and strengthen their mental health alongside their physical development.
• Mentorship & Coaching
Youth are paired with positive role models who provide situational coaching, emotional support, and guidance in self-advocacy—helping them feel seen, heard, and respected.
• Youth Summer & After-School Programs
Recreational and fitness-based activities are intentionally designed to reduce stress, foster belonging, and provide structured outlets for emotional release.

Dance becomes both artistic expression and emotional release, allowing participants to explore creativity while building resilience, teamwork, and confidence.

A dynamic, safe space for social connection, stress relief, and fun—promoting balance and positive peer relationships that support mental well-being.

• Community Giving & Outreach
Our outreach programs are rooted in healing-centered community care, extending mental health awareness and support beyond the center into the wider Toledo community.
