Biographies
 

Antonio Valdes With close to 20 years of experience in behavioral healthcare management Tony Valdés is one of the most visible leaders in children’s behavioral health services in the greater Philadelphia community. Tony began his career in behavioral healthcare in 1987 as a Social Worker for Connections CSP, a behavioral healthcare provider which at that time specialized in delivering community-based services across the state of Delaware. In 1994, after completing his MBA in Health & Medical Services Administration at Widner University, Tony assumed the position of Director of Operations for Connections CSP. In this role, Tony applied his practical experiences as a service provider to successfully manage over 100 employees and five (5) different programs. In 1995, following his 9 year tenure at Connections, Tony assumed the position of Executive Director of the Child Psychiatry Center (CPC) in Philadelphia. Under Tony’s guidance CPC successfully expanded program services, diversified its staff, and Tony was the catalyst for the organization’s greater involvement in the community of North Philadelphia. While expanding CPC’s community presence Tony began to establish himself as a sought out speaker and advocate for the needs of Philadelphia’s behavioral health services provider community, thus setting the ground for his community involvement in years to come. In 1997 Tony assumed his current position as the Executive Director of Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CcTC) -- a non-profit agency specializing in providing comprehensive mental health services to Philadelphia’s children and their families. Since assuming this position, Tony has successfully expanded CcTC six-fold -- with an over-all staff increase from 45 employees to 275, an increase in its annual budget of $1.8 million to $13 million, and a service expansion of 4 programs to 16. When Tony first joined CcTC, the Center served approximately 250 children and families per-year, today CcTC annually serves over 1300 children and families across the greater Philadelphia community from its 12 sites. In addition to his role at CcTC, Tony has taken a leadership role in several community organizations, including: • Former President of the Board of Directors of the Philadelphia Alliance • Board President of the Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, Inc., (Concilio) • Board Member of Maternity Care Coalition • Chairman of the Mayor’s Children Summit 2001, City of Philadelphia • Co-Chair in the Health and Wellness Committee of the Philadelphia Mayor’s Transition Team 2000 • Member of the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Commission for Children’s Behavioral Heath - 2006 Throughout his career, Tony Valdés has raised the bar in providing innovative and much needed services to the city, while remaining sensitive to the needs of the diversity and cultural richness of the community at large.
