California Families in Focus
About Our Organization
Empowering Families in Long Beach since 2002
California Families in Focus has been at the forefront of making a difference in children’s lives since 2002. Located at the intersection of community and life, California Families in Focus is a life-affirming journey that builds on the richness and power of lifelong values. We have been providing young people the values and skills they need to become exceptional community leaders.
We incorporate social and emotional learning (SEL) components into each program to educate the whole child and the whole family. To train a wide breadth of topics, we largely use mentoring, art therapy (visual and physical expression), and meditation. We help our families learn about effective parenting, mental health, leadership skills, self-esteem, self-defense/personal safety, and entrepreneurial skills.
