You’re not alone.

Adoptive families often navigate challenges related to trauma, attachment, identity, and behavior. SCCS offers Adoption Wraparound and specialized therapy to support families through these experiences with consistent, long-term care.
Our team works alongside families to better understand each child’s needs, strengthen relationships, and build skills that support everyday life at home and beyond.
SCCS partners with school districts and SELPAs to support students with complex mental health and behavioral needs that extend beyond the classroom.
This includes Family Wrap, a coordinated model that extends support beyond the classroom through home- and community-based services.
Susan was a mother of five when her husband was sentenced to a lengthy prison term, essentially making her a single parent. Then, she lost her job, she became distraught, and the family began showing signs of severe distress.
After a year in the wraparound program, in which Susan and her family were connected with community resources for counseling, academic tutoring, and transportation, they are intact, working hard, and taking small but definitive steps of progress – and, Susan recently expressed to her wraparound team how thankful she was because she could finally “see a light at the end of the tunnel.”
Your kindness helps us create better opportunities for our kids. No matter the size, every donation directly benefits them.
Thank you for being a part of their journey!
