About

Since 1975, TLC Child and Family Services has been serving the most vulnerable communities. Today, we are a recognized leader at the forefront of innovation in family services. We lead the charge in serving foster and at-risk youth, positively changing the trajectory of individual lives. In the process, we help make Sonoma County the most vibrant and thriving community possible.

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. 
In addition, TLC has been entrusted by the Sonoma County Children’s Village Legacy Fund to provide funds for orthodontic and dental care to foster youth who would otherwise not have access to these critical services. We are specialists in gender-affirming care and recognize the unique and diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Across our programs, we provide culturally and linguistically responsive services to BIPOC youth and families.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

TLC is committed to a process of collective and self-reflection to address implicit bias and systemic racism to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for all our staff and the individuals we serve. We strive to eradicate prejudice and develop a greater appreciation and awareness of the intersectional identities of our diverse staff and clients. In our work, we engage in a practice of cultural humility to promote social justice, recognizing individuals and communities as experts on their own culture and experience. Our programs and practices endeavor to create an environment in which all differences by race, ethnicity, culture, religion, socioeconomic status, origin, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression are respected, supported, and valued as crucial to TLC’s success in serving our community.

LGBTQ+ Allyship and Service

TLC has been serving the LGBTQ+ Community since 2005. Today, TLC is one of only 10 organizations in California to earn the prestigious HRC Innovative Inclusion Recognition for our work as allies and service providers.
