Be the reason A FAMILY finds hope.

Right now, a child is struggling. Their family is overwhelmed. Behavioral health services are expensive; appointments are months away, and care is too far. 

More than ever, families across San Diego are seeking support through ECS’ Para Las Familias (PLF) program. This no-cost behavioral health service for children and caregivers brings care to families in need. 

Now, Para Las Familias is expanding countywide, and we need your help. 

Because of you, more families won’t have to face their struggles alone.  

Give today to change a child's life. 

You are helping families like Gabriela, Micheal, and their daughter Olivia.  

Because of you, Gabriela and Micheal didn’t give up. They found a way forward.  

When 8-year-old Olivia began having severe emotional breakdowns, her parents were lost without direction. 

"We felt desperate to find some help, someone that can explain why she’s going through this," Gabriela shared. 

That’s when they found Para Las Familias. 

Because of support like yours, PLF was able to provide the tools for Olivia to learn new coping skills.  

"I didn’t expect not to have any problems or issues, but it is like night and day.”  

After six months of care, their family was equipped to face issues as a unit. Olivia turned her behavior around with less frequent outbursts. Gabriela and Micheal learned new parenting skills to implement at home. Olivia even teaches PLF lessons to her little sister. 

Now, ECS has an opportunity to bring that support to even more children and families across San Diego—but we can’t do it without you. 

More children are still waiting for help.  

Your gift today helps families like Gabriela, Micheal, and Olivia receive access to critical, no-cost care that gives hope for the future.
