Founded in 1886, Clarity Child Guidance Center is the only nonprofit in South Texas providing a continuum of mental health services for children ages 3-17 and their families to manage mental health conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to suicidal ideation, bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia.
In keeping with its mission to support children and families in their pursuit of mental wellness, for the past 13 years, Clarity has hosted Claritycon, its annual children’s mental health conference that provides professional development (including CEU, CNE and MT contact hours) to 600+ educators, therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals and community members. Claritycon2026 will be held on Monday and Tuesday, July 13 and 14, 2026 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the
