saying goodbye to a dear friend
With a heavy heart, Clarity Child Guidance Center must say goodbye to a long-time friend, advocate, and board member, Reverend Taylor Boone. Taylor’s drive to help others left a deep impact on both the children getting treatment at Clarity CGC and the San Antonio community as a whole.
In addition to his service to Clarity, Taylor impacted Corazon Ministries, Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio, Methodist Healthcare Ministries, the San Antonio Area Foundation, and many other nonprofits.
Our thoughts are with Taylor’s family at this time. His memorial service will be held at Travis Park Church on Saturday, October 2.
caring for clarity
Choose Act Impact Day of Service is a tradition for the Texas A&M University of San Antonio students, featuring multiple off-campus service opportunities.
As part of this event, A&M San Antonio students chose to help Clarity Child Guidance Center!
Clarity Child Guidance Center has an 8-acre campus with 10 buildings, a playground, swimming pool, gymnasium, courtyard, several gardens, and more. Keeping our grounds safe, clean, and fun takes a lot of time, energy, and effort!
Thank you to the TAMUSA students who dedicated their Saturday towards getting the Clarity campus in shipshape!

children’s mental health facts poster
As part of our 2020 Annual Report, Clarity Child Guidance Center created a brand new poster on kid’s mental health. This infographic illustrates children’s mental health data from a variety of local and national sources.
Our goal is to spread awareness of both the troubling and hopeful research surrounding our children’s well-being.
We need your help spreading the word! Please email us if you or your organization would like copies of this poster.
