About Us

Bienvenidos is a compassionate community of care dedicated to healing children, strengthening families and transforming communities.

As a nonprofit, community-based organization, Bienvenidos fulfills its mission by delivering a comprehensive array of services that empower children and their families, are culturally responsive, and are effective models of prevention and intervention.

The unique strength of Bienvenidos is our ability to provide children and their families with access to comprehensive services that address multiple needs. By using this collaborative approach, families are able to benefit from a combination of integrated services and resources, and Bienvenidos is able to provide a safety net for children and families who are overwhelmed by psychosocial and environmental factors, such as abuse, neglect, poverty and violence.

The holistic approach to healing families is reflected in our four operating divisions: Community Services provides teen pregnancy prevention, youth development programs, substance abuse treatment programs, support services for domestic violence survivors and therapeutic and comprehensive family strengthening; Medical Services operates two community health clinics both of which provide year-round primary, pre-natal, family planning, mental health and senior care services; Mental Health Services provides comprehensive, culturally-sensitive mental health services to children, ages 0 – 21 and their families; and Foster Care Services selects, trains, certifies and supports foster families to care for the children and siblings who are unable to remain in the home with their birth families.

Regardless of the reason someone comes to us, we encourage them to utilize our multiple programs and services. If a parent is referred to us for parenting classes, we link the younger children in the home to our school readiness program, and the older children are introduced to our teen programs. A child in foster care has direct access to mental health services. Our programs focus on promoting long – term change, resulting in safe and successful families, thriving children, and strong communities.
