Family & Children Services is proud to have served children, youth, adults, and families in Silicon Valley for more than 60 years. Over the decades, we have grown and helped more because of the support of countless individuals and organizations. In the Spotlight photo, for example, members of the Kiwanis Club arrive to lend a hand, bringing needed furnishings to accommodate client services.

Our San Jose office was founded in response to the need for mental health services for veterans returning from World War II and their family members. Today our San Jose office clinical staff members continue to serve the mental health needs of vulnerable members of our community, including families who qualify for Medi-Cal, children and adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and their family members, individuals from South East Asia, and adults with a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse.

Our Palo Alto office was founded in response to a community survey that identified a need for supportive services for children and families. The issues against which families struggled to succeed are familiar to us today: financial stress, families in transition, substance abuse, family violence and abuse, and depression.

We are honored to be here now serving children, youth, adults, and families in Silicon Valley and to continue to learn, innovate, and grow. These are exciting times.

Family & Children Services has benefited from a true circle of support and this legacy has enabled our staff to support thousands of children, youth, adults, and families toward greater strength, self-sufficiency, and safety.

Thank you for your interest and support. We value your partnership.
