A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 624110-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• Child Guidance is a sub-industry of the NAICS Code 624110 - "Child and Youth Services". The industry has a long history worldwide, with the first child guidance clinic established in 1909 in the United States. The early clinics focused on the diagnosis and treatment of children with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. In the 1920s, the industry expanded to include guidance for parents and teachers, and in the 1930s, the focus shifted to prevention and early intervention. Notable advancements in the industry include the development of play therapy in the 1940s and the introduction of family therapy in the 1960s. In recent years, the industry has seen an increased focus on evidence-based practices and the integration of technology into treatment, such as teletherapy and online resources. In the United States, the history of Child Guidance is closely tied to the development of the mental health field. The industry grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, with the establishment of community mental health centers and the passage of federal legislation to support mental health services. In the 1970s and 1980s, the industry faced challenges with funding cuts and the deinstitutionalization movement, which led to the closure of many psychiatric hospitals. However, the industry adapted by expanding services to schools and other community settings. In recent years, the industry has faced new challenges with the opioid epidemic and the increasing demand for mental health services among children and adolescents. Despite these challenges, the industry continues to evolve and innovate to meet the changing needs of its clients.
