The Counseling Center staff at Casa de Amparo guides, advocates for and supports children and families participating in Casa’s programs, to help treat the effects of child abuse and neglect, and stop the cycle.
Casa de Amparo’s New Directions transitional housing program provides assistance to young adults ages 18 to 24 who have been emancipated from foster care. With the program’s support, former foster youth are equipped with the necessary skills and resources to make a successful transition from foster care to independent living.
Casa de Amparo’s Family Visitation Program at the Family Services Center provides a neutral, supervised setting for North County parents who have been separated from their children as a result of child abuse or neglect, enabling regular visits and positive interactions and eventual reunification.
Casa de Amparo provides temporary shelter, food, and overall care for children who have been removed from their homes as a result of abuse or neglect. Whether a child is with us for one day or several months before being placed in a permanent setting, our staff and volunteers provide loving attention, along with a rigorous educational and recreational plan and as many normal childhood experiences as possible.
Parents who want to develop healthy, nurturing parenting skills and avoid the risk of mistreatment or neglect, bring their children to Casa de Amparo’s Hayward Child Development Center (HCDC) for therapeutic child care, pre-school and family support.
