Serving the community since 1976, Child & Family Center believes in strengthening families today for a stronger community tomorrow. Each week, we provide a variety of programs and services to hundreds of children and their families, through a full spectrum of care including individual, group, family and school-based counseling, parenting groups/support as well as intensive in-home services.

With our main campus located in the Santa Clarita Valley, we also serve the Antelope Valley and have a confidential Domestic Violence shelter. As a data-informed and community driven organization, we have evolved to meet the growing needs in our community for counseling, education and supportive services that support the entire family. 

Today, the Center serves thousands of children and adults annually with a comprehensive range of prevention, early intervention, evaluation and therapeutic services including early childhood mental health counseling, school based services, home based services, crisis intervention, parenting classes, and substance abuse recovery programs. 

Our staff and team are comprised of dedicated and compassionate psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed (and those working towards licensure) clinicians, including LCSWs and LMFTs, family and child counselors and case managers, interns and teachers.  Working together as a team assures we can provide the best treatment approach for each child and family.

Our Mission:
Changing Lives. Healing Relationships. Helping People Thrive – “Strengthening families today for stronger communities tomorrow.”
