Family Paths

Family Paths, Inc. is a non-profit organization of mental health professionals and dedicated volunteers that provide a number of mental health and supportive services to low income, multi-stressed individuals and families. Family Paths strengthens family relationships by providing mental health and supportive services with respect, integrity, compassion, and hope.

In 1972 we were founded as Parental Stress Service, a volunteer-run 24-hour parent support hotline, and today we serve the mental health needs of parents, children and families from offices in Oakland and Hayward. These services include a 24-hour Parenting Stress Helpline, a Foster Parent Advice Line, CalWORKs Case Management, a full suite of Parent Education classes, and a skill-building group for trauma survivors called Finding Peace Within. We also provide counseling for children, adolescents, adults and families.
