For more than four decades, Seneca has offered a simple promise to each youth and every family we serve: No matter how profound the difficulties you face, we will be with you every step of the way.
Today, Seneca provides a broad range of mental health, education, foster care, and juvenile justice services that impact over 25,000 young people and their families every year. We are driven by the fundamental belief that children and families do not fail, but rather are failed by systems unable to meet their complex needs. We operate with the promise to meet children and families where they are, supporting and caring for them at every stage of their journey, and fostering positive outcomes for a healthier future.

Our DEI Commitment
Seneca honors and celebrates the diverse cultural identities and lived experiences of our staff and the youth, families, and communities we serve. Grounded in our core values of equity and justice, our services disrupt systems that preserve social exclusion, racial inequity, and disenfranchisement. At Seneca, we view diversity, equity, and inclusion as a central part of our work. They are woven throughout everything we do to advance our organizational mission, vision, and culture.
Policy & Advocacy
We advocate for meaningful public policy change at the local, state, and federal levels using our decades of experience in Unconditional Care, our cross-system expertise, and our broad geographic reach to fight for reforms that reflect the real needs of children, families and frontline staff.
