History of UCS

In May of 1958 Bennington Family Service Center and the state-operated Bennington Child Guidance Clinic merged and established United Counseling Service of Bennington County, Inc.

In 1961, UCS entered into a cooperative program with Putnam Memorial Hospital to develop a comprehensive mental health program where UCS psychologists and social workers provided a complete range of counseling services in cooperation with the hospital.

From an original staff of six and a budget of thirteen thousand dollars, UCS has grown steadily with the aid of federal and state grants. Today there are more than 300 staff and a multimillion dollar annual operating budget. This tremendous growth demonstrates real need in the community and our ability to respond to those needs.

The growth of UCS programs and facilities reflects the process of deinstitutionalization in Vermont and nationwide.
