Mission Statement:

The mission of Christina G Smith Community Mental Health Foundation is to provide comprehensive and innovative programs that enhance the emotional, social, academic and physical health and development of youth and families struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Youth feel empowered and have access to the academic, behavioral and emotional supports that help them lead happy productive lives and become healthy contributing members of their family and community.

School History:

The Christina G. Smith Community Mental Health Foundation was established in loving memory of Dr. Christina G. Smith, a dedicated physician whose life was tragically cut short. Her vision for compassionate, holistic mental health care continues to guide the foundation’s mission.
Dr. Smith’s early years in India, where her father served as a missionary, shaped her deep empathy and global perspective. She began her career in a state mental health facility and later brought her passion to South Florida, where she championed grassroots approaches to treatment. Her commitment to lifelong learning and collaborative care inspired both colleagues and clients alike.
Dr. Smith believed in the healing power of understanding, education, and empathy. She saw the potential in every individual and worked tirelessly to promote wellness and acceptance. The Foundation honors her legacy by continuing to serve with the same heart, vision, and dedication.

C.G. Smith Academy K-8 is designed to meet the academic needs of students who require an intensive, individualized setting in order for learning and positive emotional and behavioral change to occur.

At C.G. Smith Academy, we specialize in teaching the essential
skills children need to grow into confident, successful learners.

We understand that some children require more than a traditional school setting to thrive.
Without the right support, these students may face significant academic and emotional challenges.
At CG Smith Academy, we provide the structure, care, and resources they need to succeed.

Students who are not doing well in a typical school setting need extra care. Without it, they may have significant academic challenges causing them to fall behind. We provide multiple support systems to teach the skills children need to empower them to become great learners.
