Founded in 1914 as the Adam and Maria Sarah Seybert Institution for Poor Boys and Girls, an independent foundation that makes grants to nonprofits serving disadvantaged children and youth in the city of Philadelphia.In 1918, Seybert’s Board recognized that there was a need for better diagnosis and treatment of the mental health of traumatized children in its temporary shelters, and it worked to establish and fund a Department of Child Study in Philadelphia, consisting of a psychological clinic and a day school for children in the shelter system, an effort that continued through 1924, and led to developments in child guidance throughout the city
