Seneca Family of Agencies was founded in 1985 by advocates who wanted to better meet the needs of children in group homes and foster family care. Seneca established itself as an innovative leader in the provision of unconditional care through a comprehensive continuum of school, community-based and family-focused treatment services for children and families experiencing high levels of trauma who are at risk for family disruption or institutional care for the children. Seneca's continuum of care includes: in-home wraparound; foster family-based treatment; adoption and foster care; mobile crisis response; kinship care; integrated day treatment and special education services; after-school therapeutic recreation programming; public school-based mental health services; therapeutic mental health services; intensive and preventive treatment for at-risk children and families; family finding for foster children; and home-like residential treatment. More than 6,000 children in the SF Bay Area require foster care, and few if any counties have enough foster/resource parents to fill the need. Seneca strives to recruit, train and approve foster/resource parents who are skilled, patient caregivers with an unwavering commitment to serving the needs of these children. In turn, we offer foster/resource parents unconditional support as they create a home life for children that is meaningful and life-changing.
