Learn & Connect Open House: New Beginnings

Join us for our Grants in Action Learn and Connect event at New Beginnings Counseling Center! Witness how your generosity has helped support and encourage a safe, nurturing environment, providing vital mental health and life-building services for  New Beginnings clients and our community. Join us in their 16,000-square-foot location, a collaborative space that offers programs for veterans, safe parking for the unhoused, and counseling for individuals, couples, and groups—all in one place. 

Thanks to a  Women's Fund grant, the staff has hired a new full-time front-desk staff person and has increased clinical hours for two current intake coordinators, one of whom is Spanish-speaking.

New Beginnings is a non-profit, safety-net organization that serves over 2,000 low-income individuals and families per year with psychological guidance, housing assistance, and supportive services. Its Counseling Center,  Safe Parking Shelter and Rapid Rehousing Program, Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program, and  Life Skills Parenting and Education Program provide much-needed aid to residents throughout Santa Barbara County.
