the advisory center for teens (ACT) is established

Created by the Wyoming Jaycees, this is the first program with counseling services dedicated to adolescents and young adults. With its humble beginnings in the basement of Roger’s Plaza, the program ran with a total operating budget of $616.00.

In 1977, ACT moves directly across from The Grand Rapids Child Guidance Clinic—setting up the merger that would eventually lead to the establishment of Arbor Circle.
