Hope.

Resiliency.

Self-Sufficiency. 

We empower underserved kids, adults, and domestic abuse victims to overcome barriers and significant life challenges through culturally competent, comprehensive mental health, psychiatric, and case management services. 

In Spanish, Amanecer roughly translates to “New Beginning”. We use that phrase to describe the meaningful differences our clients see in their lives after treatment. 

Since 1975, with help from the county, foundations, and donors, we have provided hundreds of thousands of New Beginnings.

Every day, she begged to be reunited with her mother.
