History
United Parents is a grass roots non profit agency founded on the basic principles of “parents helping parents.” Every family may have challenges, but United Parents was in fact solicited by Ventura County Behavioral Health (VCBH) to assist families raising children with mental/behavioral/emotional disorders.
Understanding the unique challenges of these families, we identify and bridge gaps in traditional services to enhance outcomes in the home and community by integrating local resources which provide natural and accessible alternatives, critical in supporting longer term treatment outcomes.
Founded in 1989, we advocate for families to be recognized, respected and empowered as full partners in the treatment and care of their children. We believe in partnerships between parents and professionals as an integral path to recovery. (Read More...)
