Just Advocates wants kids and families to have what they need. 

We are a family- and systems - level advocacy non - profit led by Seneca Family of Agencies Founder Ken Berrick.

Our team works to improve public-facing family systems by:

  • Partnering

    with individual families to meet their children's complex behavioral health, education, and child-welfare related needs.

  • Consulting

    with government and non-profit agencies to improve family care systems and programs.

  • Leveraging

    lessons learned to drive public policy that improves county, state, and federal family support services.

About Us

Just Advocates supports children, caregivers and families in navigating the child welfare, education, developmental services, behavioral health, and juvenile court systems - and uses lessons learned to advocate for policies friendly to children and families in California and across the country. Our vision is for resources and services to be readily accessible for every child and family, so they have what they need to thrive. 

You can support JA’s work to get responsive and supportive services into the lives of children and their families.
