Welcome to the Fulton County Oak Hill Child, Adolescent & Family Center

Oak Hill was established as a "one-stop" location dedicated to providing high-quality and culturally competent behavioral health services to Fulton County youth between the ages of 0 to 21 years old. The services enable children and youth to achieve and maintain independence and stability so they can play a more productive role within their families, schools and community.

The Fulton County Oak Hill Child, Adolescent & Family Center has been relocated to 3444 Claire Drive in Hapeville, Georgia while its primary facility undergoes an extensive renovation.  Once the renovation has been completed, the Oak Hill Campus will offer "one-stop" solution-focused behavioral health care, primary care, oral care, community garden, library services, after-school programs, summer programs, and wellness programs that address childhood issues such as obesity and asthma.  To learn more information about our child and adolescents programs and services, and to attain comprehensive information about behavioral health disorders in youth, please visit our website - www.oakhillkids.org.
