Mission Statement

Strengthening Families. Protecting Children.

We recognize that all children hope for a bright future. That's why Home Start works tirelessly to help families identify and use their strengths to build a better future for themselves. We are committed to a community-based collaborative effort reaching out to children and families at risk and preventing child abuse and neglect. It takes a dedicated staff, working every day to make changes. This philosophy applies beyond those we help, to the community we live in, which benefits from:

  • Proven practices that stop abuse within families and in our neighborhoods
  • Outreach programs that respond to specific community needs
  • Education and assistance to improve parenting

Throughout our diverse and expansive network, you will find: A shared commitment to assuring every child has a safe, stable and nurturing home.

Description

Founded in 1972 as a highly successful, national Head Start demonstration project, Home Start provides services to children living in poverty who require immediate, comprehensive solutions to ensure their safety and healthy development. In 1977, Home Start Inc. incorporated as a San Diego-based, private non-profit agency dedicated to child abuse prevention and family strengthening services.

Home Start's countywide programs and services increase the stability, self-sufficiency and parenting knowledge of the families who receive our services. Our therapists possess or are pursuing Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Masters of Family Therapy (MFT) or Clinical Psychology licenses that adhere to the highest professional standards. Many are bilingual and all possess a sensitivity to, and understanding of, ethnic and cultural differences.

You can be part of our history and a force for the future - Get Involved today.
