APA Family Support Services (APA) is a community-based organization that focuses on the prevention and identification of child abuse/neglect in the community. Our mission is to promote healthy children and families by providing family support services to prevent child abuse and domestic violence and to advocate for culturally competent services through education, community building, and leadership development.

We do this through case management and family support services at our family resource centers. By providing parents with a safe and welcoming place outside of their homes, they increase their social circles and have a forum to gain their voice.

APA is also the lead for API Family Resource Network (APIFRN).

APA Family Support Services is proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
