The program includes educational services in developmentally appropriate settings - at home or in a classroom, health and nutrition services, and assistance for families.

School-Linked Services utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to health care in order to promote the health and well-being of youth. Students who are unhealthy are less likely to be able to learn or succeed in school. By offering free medical, mental health, health education and youth development services on school grounds, the SLS focus on prevention and early identification of risk factors aims to reduce barriers to learning and to support families and our community.

BHCS offers counseling and alcohol and drug treatment in one setting. The Counseling Program provides an array of strength-based, solution focused brief psychotherapy for individuals, families, couples and groups. The Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program offers outpatient groups and onsite drug testing for youth and adults who are struggling with substance abuse and addiction. The Clinical Training Program hosts students from graduate schools and therapists who are collecting hours towards licensure.

Since 2000, DreamCatcher Youth Services has been the only safe landing for homeless and disconnected at risk youth in Alameda County who are between the ages of 13-18. Over 90% who have been through DreamCatcher have moved directly into stable housing, further education or employment.Our youth exit to greater safety and go on to futures they didn’t have the energy to imagine when they first came to us. Over a third of our staff are graduates of our program who returned as adults wanting to give back for all they received, for the ways their lives changed.

Located in the West End in the Alameda Housing Authority's Esperanza Community Room at 1903 Third Street, the goal of Family Support Services is to provide families with supportive services via case management, parenting classes, and other services based on family needs. The Drop-In Support program allows individuals and families to meet one-on-one with a case manager to assess their needs and support sustainable service linkages. In partnership with Mastick Senior Center, a Senior Case Manager works specifically with older adults. The Family Support Center hosts the only Covered California Certified Enrollment Counselors in the City of Alameda.

Alameda Family Services is governed by a 14 member Board of Directors that meets monthly and includes the City of Alameda Chief of Police, a representative of the Alameda Unified School District and the Chair of the Head Start/Early Head Start Policy Council in addition to community members.

The Executive Staff includes the Program Directors, Chief Financial Officer, Human Resources Manager and the Executive Director.  This group meets weekly to ensure that the agency offers a comprehensive seamless continuum of care and opportunities for children, youth and families.

Alameda Family Services delivers quality and responsive services employing innovative best practices that are shared across the agency.  Children, youth and families experience Alameda Family Services as a service gateway that supports their health and well-being.
