What Richstone Family Center does

Richstone Family Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1974 and headquartered at 13634 Cordary Avenue, Hawthorne, California. It specializes in the prevention and treatment of child abuse and domestic violence, operating across Los Angeles County and the Greater South Bay through a community-based service model that delivers trauma-informed care via center-based, school-based, community/home-visitation, and 24-hour crisis channels. Its core service portfolio includes individual and family therapy, Kids Club after-school programming, Parents As Teachers early intervention, the Everychild Foundation Healing Center (opened 2020), the Lennox Math, Science, and Technology Academy, a Home Visitation Program, a Transitional Living Program for emancipated foster youth, and the Dorothy Courtney Institute for clinical training.

The organization's technology footprint is anchored by the Qualifacts InSync EHR platform, adopted in 2025 to support trauma-informed care documentation, grant reporting, and clinical workflow compliance, plus an online client portal (Connect) for client–therapist communications and resource access. It does not develop proprietary technology products; clinical and operational tools are commercially licensed.

Richstone is funded through a diversified nonprofit revenue model comprising individual donations (including a tiered Hearts of Hope monthly giving program at $25–$250/month), recurring annual fundraising events (galas, beach parties, golf classics) with corporate sponsors such as Wells Fargo and Bristol Farms, foundation grants (with Everychild Foundation's $1M grant and JB & Emily Van Nuys Charities' ~$1.1M annual support as major named anchors), and state of California government grants and contracts, building on its legacy as one of the first six state-funded child abuse treatment and prevention programs in California. Services are delivered free of charge to clients, with 101–250 employees and a clinical staff of 50+, and the organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors with no parent entity.
