ABOUT FAMILY TIES
Seneca's Family Ties is a collaborative program with San Luis Obispo County Department of Social Services. Family Ties is an intervention system of care that provides peer to peer supportive services to relatives or near-kin caregivers who are caring for relative children that could have been at risk of dependency or have become dependents of Child Welfare or Probation. Services provided can include case management (regular visits, formal support, emergency funds, referrals to in-house services), non-case management (access to support groups, parenting/psycho-educational classes, and supplemental food support with bi-monthly food box distribution), legal guardianship assistance, and a recreational team.
