To help children and families through the most difficult times of their lives, regardless of the challenges or circumstances they face.
Children thrive when rooted in safe, loving homes. Every child needs and deserves the meaningful, lifelong connections of a permanent, loving family. Seneca's Resource Family Program is dedicated to helping foster children and their families in Monterey County and the Central Coast. Each year, we work with over 110 children to help them find and build these connections. We recruit, train, and certify resource families to provide temporary care, support family reunification, finalize adoptions when reunification is not an option, and provide ongoing support after placement.
These vital services are urgently needed. Former foster children are twice as likely to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as U.S. combat veterans. Our therapeutic services and consistent support help children and their caregivers build secure and healthy relationships.
With your support, we can continue to provide these critical services, creating a brighter future for vulnerable children and families in the community.
As a proud member of Seneca Family of Agencies' Central Coast Leadership Board, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of their work on our community. Since 1984, Seneca has been a cornerstone in building and strengthening families for thousands of children through their comprehensive services, including foster care, adoption, mental health support, and education. Their dedication to providing vital community services across Monterey County and the entire Central Coast ensures that every child and family has the support they need to thrive. I am continually inspired by Seneca's unwavering commitment to fostering a brighter future for our children and our community.
