providers in Los Angeles County, serving more than 15,000 children, transition age youth, adults, older
adults and families through its 50 programs each year. We are dedicated to improving the mental health of
individuals and families by providing effective, culturally-sensitive therapeutic services based on each
client’s individual needs, strengths and choices. Achieving this mission results in our vision and motto of
Moving Lives Forward. Our commitment to mental health has kept families together, protected
individuals from abuse, placed the homeless in safe housing and has given hope to thousands of
individuals each year that a better life is possible. When vulnerable and marginalized individuals and
families are empowered to move their lives forward, self-sufficiency, opportunity, and well-being become
realistic goals.

families here in the San Fernando Valley.” Tim Ryder, President/CEO
