Youth & Family Services

The City of Fremont Youth and Family Services Counseling helps people of all ages with mental health, housing, employment, and other quality of life needs. Their services are available in English and Spanish.

Their Fremont Family Resource Center is located right across the road from the City Hall, in central Fremont, California. They’re conveniently nestled in the heart of the city, a short drive from beautiful outdoor spaces like Central Park and the Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum.

Their substance use disorder program focuses on early intervention and preventative education, but includes support measures like counseling. The team can also provide referrals to rehabs with higher levels of care, and they will stay in touch with you through their case management system.

Integrated Care for At Risk Youth

Their primary focus is on children in middle school and high school. I like that their counseling services give youths and their families an opportunity to work through age related issues like peer pressure, anxiety, or substance misuse in a judgement free zone.

Families get the benefit of being involved in their child’s treatment process. They can learn a lot during family therapy sessions and strengthen their communication and conflict resolution skills.

School and Parent Involvement in Early Intervention

They believe that early intervention is one of the best ways to reduce the prevalence of substance addiction in the city. A big part of their efforts involve collaborating with the Fremont Unified School District to share information with at risk youths and their families.

I'm glad to see that parents, teachers, and anyone who works with children can attend training sessions to learn more about preventing substance misuse in youths. These sessions give you helpful tools for navigating conversations about addiction and mental health.
