Edgewood Center For Children & Families

Edgewood Center for Children & Families is a leading nonsectarian organization in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to helping children and families overcome severe challenges such as abuse, neglect, mental illness, and family crisis. As the oldest children's charity in the western U.S. (founded in 1851), the agency provides comprehensive support for youth in grades 5 through 12, with a diverse student body comprising 73% students of color.

The center offers specialized intensive services including residential and day treatment, educational therapy in their non-public school, and medical/psychiatric support. Their wraparound approach coordinates care across home, school, and community settings, ensuring that children who need more than their family or school can provide receive the healing and reconnection with a safe, loving family they deserve.

Edgewood supports families through robust advocacy to champion children's rights and a dedicated training program that utilizes years of experience and the latest research to educate staff, caregivers, and professionals. With rolling admissions and a commitment to evidence-based outcomes, the agency empowers families to take back their future through holistic care and community-based interventions.
