PHILOSOPHY

TLC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, serves Sonoma County’s most vulnerable children, youth, and families. 

Our comprehensive programming serving ages 0-25 includes foster care; adoption and post-adoption services; residential treatment; behavioral health; special education; and transition-age youth housing services for young adults currently unhoused or at risk of becoming homeless. We are specialists in gender-affirming care and recognize the unique challenges and needs of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ populations. 

TLC invites, supports, and affirms cultural diversity in all of its clients. We strive to eradicate prejudice and develop a greater appreciation of multicultural diversity in our programs and thus in our staff and clients. We aim for a heightened awareness, sensitivity, and the valuing of human differences. All programs and practices endeavor to create an environment in which cultural, religious, ethnic, social, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and physical differences are respected.
