About For the Child
A child’s ability to grow, flourish, and pursue their dreams often depends on having a stable, supportive start in life. Unfortunately, hardships like abuse, neglect, and family struggles can interrupt this journey. For over five decades, For The Child, a nonprofit organization in Long Beach, CA, has been dedicated to empowering families, preventing the harm of abuse, and providing essential support for children and families facing difficult circumstances. These children are not strangers—they are part of our community, sharing our schools, neighborhoods, and parks.
For The Child relies on the commitment of community support to provide vital prevention and care programs. Their services range from trauma response teams available around the clock, to counseling, educational outreach, and other tailored resources for young people and families in need.
The organization believes that resilient families and caring communities offer the strongest foundation for a child’s well-being. By working with parents and addressing the challenges they face, For The Child helps families build stronger connections, creating brighter futures for children who need it most.
