Seven Generations Child and Family Counseling Services

“Seven Generations” refers to a core philosophical value of American Indians, which states that for the well being of future generations, the responsibility rests on every generation that comes before them. If we act and make decisions that have the best interest of the Seventh Generation, our unborn generation, we will ensure healthy future generations of American Indians.

The Seven Generations Child and Family Services were developed to meet the growing mental health needs of American Indian children and their families in Los Angeles County.

All services provided are culturally sensitive to American Indians. Seven Generations serves a unique function in helping the Los Angeles American Indian children and their families to become healthy and productive members of our community. Seven Generations has a “Systems of Care” approach to services that are based on the premise that the mental health needs of children and adolescents can be best met within their home, school, and community and families and youth should be the driving force in the transformation of their own care.
