Kinship Center offers specialty mental health and counseling services to children and families touched by adoption, foster care, relative caregiving, or legal guardianship. To be eligible for these programs, a child must have Orange County Medi-Cal or be eligible as part of the Adoption Assistance Program (AAP). A child adopted from a county other than Orange County may be served at the clinic if the County of origin agrees to the host county providing services. A child may have been already permanently placed/adopted or adoption is being considered as part of the child’s permanency plan. In addition, a child may be living with relative caregivers or legal guardians. Services are provided in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Education Support Program
For children who are already clients in one of Kinship Center’s programs, and their siblings
Ph 714-957-1004
The Educational Support Program partners volunteer educators from California State University at Fullerton and elsewhere with foster/adoptive children in need of individual tutoring. For children who have experienced abuse and neglect, the effects of trauma often lead to poor school performance, and repeated absences and multiple moves can cause a downward spiral of failure. Kinship Center specialists work to enhance the youth’s academic experience and to create confident learners. |
