The Whole Child

The Whole Child, located at 10155 Colima Rd in Whittier, supports children, youth, caregivers, and families through mental health, family housing, parent enrichment, and nutrition education. Its work centers on healing, health, and stable homes.

Mental health services address behavioral challenges and trauma through psychotherapy, case management, crisis intervention, psychiatric services, and related supports. Housing programs help families facing or at risk of homelessness through assessment, referrals, case management, life-skills and employment support, housing assistance, and connections to community resources. The organization also describes support for overdue rent and utility bills through its rent assistance program.

Parent Enrichment supports caregivers from the prenatal period through a child’s fifth birthday with home or virtual visits, developmental screenings, parent-child socialization, safety workshops, and community referrals. Nutrition education includes classes, cooking demonstrations, food distribution, and physical-activity promotion.
