Right now, the families we serve are facing a perfect storm.

Federal funding cuts are threatening the most vulnerable members our community—low-icnome families, BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and immigrant newcomers. Demand for our services is growing even as public funding diminishes.

But here’s what you need to know: transformation takes time.

A child who has experienced homelessness, witnessed domestic violence, or carried the weight of intergenerational trauama doesn't heal in a single session. Healing requires a therapist who shows up week after week. Someone who looks like them, understands their cultural experience, and creates a safe space where they can finally exhale.

You have the power to break cycles.

Here's what your commitment makes possible:

  • Essential wrap-around support for food resources, housing assistance, and crisis intervention that families need to stay table while focusing on healing.
  • Therapy sessions where a child learns to regulate their emotions, communicate their needs, and believe in their own worth.
  • Comprehensive family services: individual therapy for children, support groups for parents, and case management that addresses everthing from food insecurity to school advocacy.

Your gift helps us reach 2,500+ children, youth, and families across San Francisco with services they receive at absolutely no cost.
