Mattie Rhodes Center

Mattie Rhodes addresses our community’s social determinants of health by providing programs that build social cohesion, promote economic stability, and develop access to education, healthcare, and affordable housing.

How Mattie Rhodes Center Helps Our Community

We envision a vibrant, connected community in which individuals and families are healthy, safe and equipped to thrive.

Community Behavioral Health

Taking care of your mental health is essential for overall well-being, and seeking help for your mental health is an important step. MRC provides behavioral health services for children, individuals, couples and families. Every year, our team serves more than 1,000 individuals who live in Jackson County, Missouri and the surrounding metro area.

Youth Development

MRC offers a variety of youth and young adult programs focused on character building, social-emotional learning, and violence prevention. MRC also provides early childhood education programs that support academic growth and creativity through arts education.

Community Economic Development

Community economic development programs are designed to develop, utilize and cultivate resources and opportunities for neighborhood residents and leaders. Currently, we focus on workforce development programs including digital literacy support, financial literacy classes and more.

Cultural Arts

Our goal is to bridge cultures within the community through the visual arts as well as celebrate the Latino culture, history and traditions

Public Health

Mattie Rhodes’ Public Health Services aim to increase accessibility and affordability of healthcare among low-income and uninsured individuals through La Clinica and other community programs.

Public Safety

MRC’s public safety programs work together to promote violence intervention and prevention, provide substance abuse treatment, and connect families who are victims of violence with essential resources.
