El Centro de Amistad

Since its incorporation in 1977, El Centro de Amistad, Inc. Services are provided for adults (ages 25-59) and for children (ages 0-17).

(ECDA) has provided comprehensive and culturally competent services for “at risk” youth, adults and their families. ECDA has provided mental health services, case management, medication, recreational, and educational support to over 100,000 individuals. ECDA is concerned about the lack of mental health and social services to the low-income residents of the San Fernando Valley. It administers a com

prehensive range of services, including individual, family and group therapy, case management, medication support and employment placement. The main goals of ECDA’s children’s programs are to reduce risk factors that lead to violence, school failure, gang affiliation, and child abuse. With regards to the adult programs, the main goals are to assist with avoiding further deterioration and enhancing self-sufficiency, and to resolve issues that interfere with employment. All services are available in English and Spanish by culturally competent staff.
