"In Los Angeles, there are about 40,000 children who have been removed from their violent, neglectful, abusive, or drug addicted families."
This program Targets at-risk families for intervention purposes.
Our motive is to help create a safe home-environment for children to grow up and become productive members of the community.
The Center offers intensive services to the whole family in the following areas:
| Psychological intervention |
| Counseling and teaching |
| Parent training |
| Domestic abuse diversion program |
GOALS:
1) To strengthen the family as an open system, building with new energy and ideas.
2) Discourage "cause and effect" blaming, de-focus on power struggles, and establish trust.
3) Use family history as a way to focus understanding on family rules, roles, values, and expectations that are dysfunctional.
4) Create an environment suitable for reunification of all family members.

The fundamental focus of family system therapy is
to deal with the entire family group as a unit and the relationship between
them rather than only on the individual.
