We at Lincoln Families are excited to share some highlights of our work in 2021. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the hard work of our staff and the commitment of you and all of our partners.

National Kinship Care Month in September is where we come together to honor and support our kinship families across the community.

Lincoln pursues collaborative partnerships with mission-aligned organizations to find creative ways to empower and serve children and families. These partnerships allow for mutual strategic thinking, resource sharing, and problem-solving for greater collective impact in Lincoln’s service hubs in Contra Costa and Alameda counties.

Traditional ways of thinking can exacerbate trauma and cause long-term mental health issues in students. The school-to-prison pipeline demonstrates that many kids with mental health needs or behavioral disorders are poorly supported in schools.

Lincoln’s ECMHC program works with some of Lincoln’s youngest children, serving mainly 3-5-year-olds. The model is preventative, relationship-based, and culturally responsive. We focus on early identification and building resiliency within families and school communities.

March 13th, 2020, was the last day students roamed the halls of their campuses. It was the last day the school bell rang. On the last day cars and busses lined the streets creating traffic jams, and on the last day, students congregated in large groups without masks.

Mark your calendars! We are thrilled to announce "At Home with Lincoln," a special virtual ROOT event on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, from 5:30 – 6:30 pm! Join us as we look back at a year, when many of us sheltered in place, worked from home, and had experiences in which all of our lives changed. Come celebrate the many stories of hope and resilience that have inspired us.
