Happy Lunar New Year! We recognize that mental health stigma remains strong within the AAPI community. This Lunar New Year, our message is that it’s okay to not feel okay, it’s okay to reach out, and support is here when you need it. ❤️
Wishing you a year filled with health and well-being, resilience, and the strength to ask for help when needed.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to face challenges by yourself. Community, connection, and shared support play a powerful role in healing and well-being—together, people are stronger.

Inclusive resources make care more accessible and effective. When services are designed to reflect diverse identities, cultures, and experiences, people are more likely to feel seen, respected, and supported in their behavioral health journey.

Strength grows through community. When people come together with compassion, connection, and support, healing becomes possible and resilience is built. Together, we create a foundation for well-being and lasting hope.

Support is available, and you don’t have to manage everything on your own. Whole-person care can help create stability, build resilience, and support your well-being through every stage of life.

Support systems make a real difference. Having people, services, and resources you can rely on creates stability, reduces isolation, and strengthens the path toward healing. No one should have to manage mental health challenges alone—connection is a powerful part of recovery.

Getting better doesn’t always happen all at once. Progress can be gradual, personal, and still meaningful—every step forward is part of healing and growth.

Small, consistent habits—like checking in with yourself, staying connected, and asking for support when needed—can help build balance, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Founded in San Mateo, California, in 1964, Caminar’s thriving programs and services serve more than 14,000 individuals annually across San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Solano, and Butte Counties. Our nonprofit organization’s portfolio of behavioral health and supportive services empowers and supports individuals and families to move toward resilience, wellness, and independence. And, we are expanding our capacity to address the increasingly complex
needs of individuals and families. Since January of 2017, we have added three divisions to the
Caminar organization.
Our Divisions
Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley
Since 1948, Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley (FCS) has been promoting the resilience, safety, and wellness of individuals, families, and communities throughout Santa Clara County. FCS brings its counseling, prevention, and support services to dozens of community locations, including schools, community centers, jails, and health clinics. FCS counsels children and teens coping with the effects of trauma, provides a way forward for adults in recovery from addiction, and empowers families to heal from violence and abuse. FCS merged with and became a division of Caminar in January 2017.
Healthy Partnerships
Since its founding in 1997, Healthy Partnerships has provided high-quality behavioral health care in an atmosphere of compassion, respect, and cultural competence in Solano County. Outpatient prevention, intervention, and treatment services offered at Healthy Partnerships reflect a deep and abiding belief in the value of treatment, and a strong commitment to promoting recovery on an individual, family, and community level. Healthy Partnerships began operating as a division of Caminar on May 1, 2018.
Project Ninety
For more than four decades, Project Ninety has served individuals and families in San Mateo County through its alcohol and substance abuse treatment services. Over the years, Project Ninety has helped more than 23,000 individuals recover from the disease of addiction. Project Ninety’s services treat all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic standing, race, cultural background, education, age, or life experience. Project Ninety became a division of Caminar on June 1, 2018.
