In the 1930s, the home shifted its emphasis from orphans to troubled children. Beginning in the 1980s, it provided comprehensive treatment and services to troubled youth. In 2012, Seattle Children’s Home merged with Navos, one of the largest providers of community mental health services in Washington State.
