CRITTENTON FAMILY SERVICES
Established in 1966, Crittenton provides residential treatment to children (boys and girls ages 6-12) and adolescent girls (ages 12-21) who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, who are pregnant or parenting, or who have entered the juvenile justice system as youth offenders. All clients in our care have been assessed as needing intensive therapy, socialization skills, independent living skills, and a lot of “tender loving care” in a structured setting. To further serve those troubled children, we also operate a non-public school, a transitional living program and a foster care agency. We currently serve 148 children and adolescents in residential settings and more than 50 additional children in foster homes throughout Southern California.
