Wayfinder Family Services has four programs serving Placer County. Three are direct referrals and one requires a call to the Placer County Mental Health Access line.

Kinship Support Services Program – call directly for referral.

KSSP is free of charge to families.

Home to Stay offers counseling and support services to kinship and birth families who are at high risk for out of home placement in Placer County.
