Child & Family Center

🎳✨ Two weeks ago, our CORE Prevention Team hosted a “Power‑Up and Glow” Senior Bowling Night for
William S. Hart Union High School District seniors!

Held at Valencia Lanes, the night brought together the Class of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ for an evening filled with bowling, music from a live DJ, a photobooth, face painting, and free pizza and drinks—all in a fun, safe, and substance‑free environment. 🪩 🍕 🎭 🎳

Beyond the fun, the event created space for students to celebrate, connect with peers, and have important conversations about the risks of va**ng as they prepare for life after graduation.

💙 At Child & Family Center, we’re proud to create opportunities that help youth power up their strengths and glow without substances—supporting healthy choices, connection, and confidence for the future.

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost one month since Taste of the Town — and we’re still reliving the savory bites, fantastic drinks, incredibly talented musicians, and all the time spent with friends and community.

These photos put us right back in that moment… ahhh, such great memories! 🧡

Thank you again to everyone who joined us, supported us, and helped make Taste of the Town such a special day for Child & Family Center. We’re already dreaming about next year!

This June, Child & Family Center recognizes Pride Month🌈

We believe every child, adult, and family deserves to feel seen, supported, safe, and valued. Love, acceptance, and belonging are essential to well-being, and everyone deserves a space where they can thrive.

We remain committed to fostering a welcoming and supportive environment where all those we serve feel respected, valued, and safe. Creating spaces of care, dignity, and belonging is an important part of helping people thrive. 💛

Thank you, Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles County, for helping support our mental health programs and services in our community. It takes a village and we are grateful for partners like you, who value children and families and ensuring we are able to support those who walk through our door.

Kaiser Permanente, Child & Family Center Expand Mental Health Access in SCV Kaiser Permanente presented a $12,000 contribution to the Child & Family Center to help sustain and expand access to behavioral health services across the Santa Clarita Valley, reinforcing a shared commitment to improving access to care for vulnerable populations

We are proud to share that Child & Family Center's three sites have once again been re-accredited by Joint Commission International Accreditation and Certification. The survey process is incredibly intensive — every three years, we voluntarily subject ourselves to a deep review that examines every nook and cranny of the agency. Surveyors interview staff and clients, attend staff meetings and sessions, and conduct an in-depth review of our environment of care, policies and procedures, human resources, quality, training and compliance, financial health, and more.

It is a rigorous process, and one we are proud to undertake so that our clients, community, donors, and funders can know that the Center provides excellent-quality services delivered by highly trained, experienced, and deeply committed staff.

Joint Commission Accreditation is the highest level of accreditation a behavioral health center can achieve. https://www.jointcommission.org/en-us/accreditation/behavioral-health-care-and-human-services
