From our humble beginnings as a six-bed home for unwed teen mothers, we have evolved into a nationally accredited behavioral health and child welfare organization that serves about 2,000 clients per year. Crittenton Services for Children and Families continues to adapt and provide behavioral health and other critical support services that proactively address the needs of the youth and families we serve.

At its core, our mission is one of building resiliency in order to help our clients achieve permanency, stability, safety, and well-being. We remain committed in helping to break cycles of generational system-involvement, and our goal is to make a positive impact in healing childhood trauma within the communities we serve.

Requirements to become a foster parent

Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.

The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:

  • 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
  • 22,892 who entered foster care
  • 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
  • California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
  • 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption

A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.

California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.
