The ribbon is cut, and our new Fullerton offices are officially open! 🎉

Last week, we gathered at Fullerton Towers to celebrate the opening of Crittenton’s new corporate and foster care offices. Thank you to the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, our Board, team members, supporters, and community partners for sharing the moment with us.

We’re excited to welcome children, young adults, families, and our community into this new space. 💚

Crittenton is stepping into a new chapter as our Corporate and Foster Care offices move into Fullerton Towers.

This new space gives our teams more room to work together, welcome families, and strengthen the care and services we provide to children across our community.

We’d love for you to come see it for yourself at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on October 8 from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM.

📍 1400 N. Harbor Blvd., Suite 200, Fullerton

There’s more ahead, and we’re excited to share what’s next.

Changes in a child’s behavior can tell us a lot about how they’re doing. Becoming quieter, having stronger emotional reactions, struggling to focus, or experiencing changes in sleep and everyday routines can all be signs that a child is dealing with stress or emotional challenges.

For parents, foster parents, caregivers, and other trusted adults, noticing those changes matters. Paying attention, listening, and staying curious can help us better understand what a young person needs and when additional support may be helpful.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it’s an important reminder that mental health support is available when someone needs it.

If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress, a mental health crisis, or thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

If there is an immediate, life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

60 years ago, our story fit inside a six-bed home in Santa Ana.

The young women who walked through those doors needed a place to rest their heads, people who would show them compassion, and a chance to think about what came next. Over time, the needs of our communities changed, and Crittenton grew with them.

Our work expanded into foster care, mental health services, supportive housing, and family preservation. Our reach grew from one home in Orange County to communities across Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties.

Today, over 2,000 children and families are part of that story.

A lot has changed in 60 years. The future we are working toward has only grown bigger: more children healing from trauma, more families growing stronger together, and more young people moving into adulthood with the care and opportunities they deserve.

It started with six beds. Sixty years later, we’re still moving futures forward.

A child’s need for care does not always begin close to home, but the support they receive can start right here in our communities.

Crittenton is looking for foster parents in San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties. The children we serve come with their own stories, needs, hopes, and experiences. What they deserve is someone ready to welcome them with patience, care, and the willingness to show up.

Foster care is a big decision, but you do not take the first step alone. From the first conversation to training and ongoing support, Crittenton walks with you as you learn what it means to open your home to a child.

If you live in one of our service areas and foster care has been on your heart, this is your invitation to begin.

Fill out our foster parent interest form and start the conversation.

Every child deserves the chance to move forward with the care, tools, and encouragement they need along the way. Whether they are learning to trust again, building new skills, or taking their next step, meaningful support helps open the door to what comes next.

Children heal when they have meaningful connections, confidence in themselves, and the independence to take their next steps. 💚

Together, we can help young people build a future they feel ready for.

Foster parents shape the everyday moments that help a child feel safe, cared for, and seen.

A meal at the table. A ride to school. Help with homework. Someone staying calm when the day feels hard.

Those moments matter.

When you open your home, you give a child more than a place to heal. You give them care they can count on, support they can feel, and room to change their story.

If foster care has been on your heart, Crittenton is here to walk with you.

Take the first step toward becoming a foster parent.

Crittenton began as a home for teenaged mothers. Over time, we listened, learned, and expanded our care to meet a broader range of needs. Today, our services support mental health, housing, foster care, family relationships, and the transition into adulthood.

We’ve learned to listen, adapt, and build care around what children and families need most.

As we look toward the next 60 years, we remain focused on helping children and young adults heal, grow, and build futures filled with greater possibility.

What does meaningful care look like to you?

A new school year brings new classes, new goals, and plenty of supplies to gather.

With donations from our generous community partners, we created a school supply station where children and young people in our care could choose the backpacks, notebooks, folders, and classroom essentials they needed.

This station placed practical support directly within reach and gave each young person the freedom to select what worked best for them. It is one of the many ways our team and community come together to ensure young people feel prepared for the opportunities ahead.

Thank you to the partners and supporters who filled these shelves and helped our young people begin the school year ready to learn.

What an incredible time at the SEND Conference!

Over the past few days, we had the opportunity to connect with passionate nonprofit leaders, ministry partners, and attendees who all share one common goal: making a lasting difference in the lives of others.

For us, that meant sharing the life-changing impact of foster care and connecting with those who feel called to provide safe, loving homes for children in need. Every conversation reminded us that when organizations and communities come together with a shared mission, lives are changed.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared your story, asked questions, and learned more about becoming a foster parent. Together, we can build stronger families, brighter futures, and a community where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Until next time, SEND! 💙
