Our Journey
Creation + Evolution
Creating Families Together.org was born out of a deep commitment to mental health and family wellness, specifically very young children, birth to 5, & those who have experienced trauma & their extended families. We recognized the power of providing compassionate, comprehensive support to children and families as they navigate life's challenges. From our roots in the Los Angeles County region, we've grown into a dedicated team of professionals, steadfast in our mission to shape confident, capable individuals ready to surmount any adversity.
Our journey began with the idea that every family has the strength within them to overcome obstacles. This belief led us to establish a range of services, from individual and group therapy to developmental, psychoeducational, and psychological evaluations. Recognizing the significance of early intervention, we extended our services to infants and young children, offering a comprehensive, strength-based approach to promote family cohesion and overall well-being.
But we also knew that supporting children and families extended beyond therapy rooms. We needed to equip caregivers with essential skills and self-care strategies. This realization led to the development of our Parent/Caregiver Training, Infant Massage Instruction, and Mindfulness and Self-Care Practices. Furthermore, to enhance our reach, we initiated workshops, virtual trainings, and in-service meetings for both public and private organizations.
As we continue our mission, we remain committed to fostering a sense of community, encapsulated in our core value of collaboration. We believe it truly 'takes a village,' and with every step we take, we reinforce our commitment to building stronger individuals, happier families, and healthier communities.
Creating Families Together.org continues to evolve, but our core mission remains the same - to enable individuals and families to triumph over adversities, while nurturing emotional well-being, health, and unity. As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities to broaden our impact, to grow with our community, and to continue making a tangible difference in people's lives.
