Florence Critenton Family Services is a leader in family and early childhood services. We provide effective intervention and prevention services to families with young children. With the support of partners like you, Florence Crittenton offers a full range of services, including residential therapeutic care, home visits, community parenting classes, outpatient treatment services for mental health issues and drug addiction, as well as educational and childcare opportunities for young children 0 to 5.
Florence Crittenton Family Services offers a wide range of services that strengthen families and build a stronger community. At the heart of Florence Crittenton Family Services is the belief that a person’s past does not have to define their future. Real change is achievable when families are able to heal together. As with any illness, we believe that people with mental health and addiction issues should be surrounded by their support system and their children. It is the key to helping our clients break generational cycles of abuse, trauma and poverty.
Our programs and services include housing and support for homeless youth and their children, addiction recovery services for families, home visiting programs, as well as child care and preschool services at high quality. With these services and the continued support of this community, we will continue to provide the highest quality care to our families most at risk.
The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for families who are struggling with multiple challenges and often a past filled with trauma. Your monetary support and in-kind donation of items on this wishlist allow us to provide a loving environment, basic necessities and services that can bring lasting change to these families. YOU empower these families to get the help they need to heal, create new traditions and provide the best possible life for their children; and that translates into a healthier community for all of us. Your compassion in action changes the future!
