MISSION
Seneca Center’s mission is to provide an outstanding and unconditional continuum of care for the most seriously troubled children and their families in Northern California.

HISTORY
Seneca Center for Children and Families was founded in 1985 because several caring, visionary people saw a tragedy unfolding: Far too many children were failing in group homes and foster family care. In response, Seneca set out to develop mental health treatment and support services on the principle that emotionally troubled youth do not themselves fail, but are instead failed by systems unable to address their complex and specialized needs.

Throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, Seneca has dedicated itself to becoming a “system of care” agency providing a comprehensive continuum of community-based and family-focused treatment services for children and families. Seneca’s continuum of care now includes in-home wraparound services; foster family-based treatment; mobile crisis response services; integrated day treatment and special education services; after-school therapeutic recreation services; public school-based mental health services, and residential treatment.
