Centerpoint is a unique collaboration between three of Vermont’s premier youth and family serving organizations – NFI Vermont, HowardCenter, and Matrix Health Systems.   In 1995, these three organizations came together, recognizing the intensive and growing needs of teens and families in our communities.  This recognition also included the belief that these three agencies could contribute resources and support expertise to best meet these growing needs. our young people and their families have benefited from the expertise, resources, and connections that have developed through these highly designed and specialized services.  They have access to the broad range of programs and supports offered at Centerpoint and through these host agencies, and with this, can be assured of the highest quality of care.  Any day’s need may include crisis intervention or long-term residential treatment, family-based services, foster care or group care, psychological testing or psychiatric evaluation, respite or community mentoring – If the need exists, it’s likely that the umbrella of services within this interagency collaboration can help to meet that need.
