SERVING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF FAMILIES
ALMA Family Services was established in 1975 in East Los Angeles by parents to provide, along with other purposes, a comprehensive range of multilingual community based services for those with special needs including emotional, physical and/or developmental delay and their families. The Board of Directors includes business leaders, family members and consumers.
Since its inception ALMA has a "whatever it takes" tradition of multilingual, culturally competent services to meet client's needs in their homes and residential facilities, schools, social and vocational programs, juvenile facilities, and other settings as appropriate. In addition, ALMA provides five interdisciplinary mental health outpatient office locations serving all age ranges including those with substance abuse in the cities of Long Beach, Walnut, Pico Rivera, and East Los Angeles and which also serve adjacent communities. Alma also
provides mental health services which are functionally integrated within community health facilities in Huntington Park, Norwalk and Long Beach.
Child and Family Development programs include the Centro Estrella Family Resource Center, Preschool and After School Programs, Family and Peer Support Programs, Wraparound Youth Services, and a unique Aquatics Center with programs for children, adolescents, adults and older adults with special needs.
