Community partnerships help strengthen the Santa Clarita Valley, and Congressman George Whitesides has seen firsthand the impact Child & Family Center has on local children, families, and individuals.

First introduced to Child & Family Center through Taste of the Town in 2023, Congressman Whitesides quickly recognized the organization's unique role in providing a wide range of services to support those facing mental health, substance use, and other life challenges. In this special anniversary reflection, he shares his appreciation for Child & Family Center's holistic approach to care, the dedicated staff and board members who make the work possible, and the lasting difference the organization makes throughout the community.

Suicide prevention is a year-round commitment. During Suicide Prevention Month and throughout the year, we all have a role to play in showing up for the people in our lives. We are stronger together through connection, support, and prevention. This month help spread awareness and access to support with SAMHSA's toolkit: samhsa.gov/about/digital-toolkits/suicide-prevention-month/toolkit.

Strong communities are built when schools, families, and support services work together to help children succeed, and Marc Winger has long been a champion of that partnership.

Throughout his distinguished career in education, Marc served local students and families as an administrator in both the Sulphur Springs and Newhall School Districts. His connection to Child & Family Center began in the 1980s when he served on a committee and later on the Center's Foundation Board. After retiring from the Newhall School District in 2015, he joined the Board of Directors and later served as Board President. In this special anniversary reflection, Marc shares how hearing client success stories reinforced the important connection between mental health, family well-being, and student success. He also recognizes the dedication of Child & Family Center's staff and leadership in helping children and families thrive. 

Join us on September 17 as we celebrate 50 years of Child & Family Center, honoring the people, stories, and partnerships that have shaped our journey.
