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.
