Navigating emotional and behavioral challenges can feel overwhelming for children, teens, and their families alike. Our Family & Youth Peer Support Services (FYPS) offer free, compassionate, and culturally-competent support for parents/caregivers of youth under 18 with behavioral or emotional health challenges, and young people up to 24 seeking support.
With early support, many children avoid unnecessary ER visits, out-of-home placements, or long-term disengagement from school or services. We tailor our services to the unique needs of each family and youth.
Services include:
-Peer Support: One-on-one guidance for navigating education, mental health, and social services systems
-Parenting Workshops: Practical tools and connection with others facing similar challenges
-Youth and Family Groups: Safe, supportive spaces to build confidence, explore identity, and develop leadership skills
-Referrals and Resources: Help connecting to essential services like counseling, education support, housing, and more
-Multilingual Access: Services are offered in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and French
