Family Advocates use creative, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based thinking to support families in achieving their goals. We believe families are the experts in knowing their own needs and that extra support from someone who can relate makes the difference between delayed progress and a successful outcome. Services are located in Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, and Tahoe.

Provide support to families receiving services from Placer County’s Children’s System of Care, including Behavioral Health, Drug Court, Child Welfare, and Juvenile Probation Services.

Create linkages between teachers, juvenile probation officers, mental health workers, and social workers.
