“through comprehensive child and family services. All children need a childhood. Allies for Every Child ("Allies") brings together and strengthens families, cultivating conditions for children to succeed in life. Allies is a community-based organization with a more than 35-year history of working with children and families in Los Angeles who have experienced deep poverty, trauma, abuse, neglect, and social and economic barriers. Founded in 1987 as a foster care agency, Allies has maintained this work as our anchor. However, because the vast majority of child welfare system involvement is caused by neglect, Allies has continued to expand our approach throughout the years to encompass a range of trauma-responsive, child-centered, and family-focused services aimed at prevention of involvement (or further involvement) with the child welfare system. Today, Allies impacts the lives of more than 3,000 people each year through innovative foster care and adoption services, intensive family strengthening interventions, and high-quality early education programs, as well as a range of critical, multidisciplinary supports that all Allies families can access, including early childhood mental health services, pediatric health consultations, disability screenings/advocacy, community events, etc. With a deep understanding of how adversity can impact the developing brain, Allies' team of experts designs and delivers services using a neurobiologically-informed, trauma-sensitive, relationship-focused approach. Allies is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), which recognizes Allies as an agency that has successfully implemented the highest performance standards and, as such, is delivering the highest quality services.”
