Seneca Family of Agencies

Our mission is to provide Unconditional Care to children & families through the most challenging times of their lives.

For more than four decades, Seneca has offered a simple promise to each youth and every family we serve: No matter how profound the difficulties you face, we will be with you every step of the way. Today, Seneca provides a broad range of mental health, education, foster care, and juvenile justice services that impact over 25,000 young people and their families every year. We are driven by the fundamental belief that children and families do not fail, but rather are failed by systems unable to meet their complex needs. We operate with the promise to meet children and families where they are, supporting and caring for them at every stage of their journey, and fostering positive outcomes for a healthier future.

For many young people who are adopted, permanency is not just about where they live; it’s about who they are connected to. In this part of David’s story, we see how our family finding team helped reestablish relationships that had been out of reach & created space for long-term growth. David’s journey is a powerful reminder that healing often begins with connection — & that no child should have to navigate it alone.

Our Story

Seneca Family of Agencies was founded in 1985 by advocates who wanted to better meet the needs of children in group homes and foster family care. Seneca established itself as an innovative leader in the provision of unconditional care through a comprehensive continuum of school, community-based and family-focused treatment services for children and families experiencing high levels of trauma who are at risk for family disruption or institutional care for the children. In 2011, a strategic merger with Kinship Center formed Seneca Family of Agencies. In 2012, Canyon Acres Ranch was incorporated into the Orange County programs of Kinship Center, expanding the local base of mental health, wraparound, child placement, family finding and professional and parent training services. Kinship Center, founded in 1984, specializes in adoption, foster care, family-based services, child and family mental health care, along with parent and professional post graduate training. The merger into Seneca Family of Agencies expands Kinship Center's landmark work in California of creating, supporting, educating and providing mental health services to families built by adoption and relative caregiving. Canyon Acres has a 31-year history of serving children and families throughout Southern California, providing the highest level of care and therapeutic treatment to children who suffer from a variety of emotional and psychological disorders. The Canyon Acres Ranch Children’s Treatment Center in Orange County features a variety of therapeutic care programs that include child placement, mental health services and animal assisted therapy through an equine riding program. The joining of these organizations creates one of the most comprehensive service systems for children in California. Seneca Family of Agencies’ continuum of care now includes: in-home wraparound; foster family-based treatment; adoption and foster care; mobile crisis response; kinship care; integrated day treatment and special education services; after-school therapeutic recreation programming; public school-based mental health services; therapeutic mental health services -including pet assisted psychotherapy; intensive and preventive treatment for at-risk children and families; family finding for foster children; and nurturing residential treatment.
