Who we are

EMQ FamiliesFirst does whatever it takes to help children and families in crisis. We are recognized for innovative mental health treatment, foster care and social services that help families recover from trauma, abuse, addiction and poverty, and to rebuild their lives. We fight for sustainable change and advocate for improvements in the local, state and federal systems that serve children in need.

Our Mission
We do whatever it takes to...

--help children,
--strengthen families,
--build community, and
--advocate for systems change
...to ensure that our families thrive.

Our Philosophy
EMQ FamiliesFirst believes the most effective form of care for children, youth and their families is based in the community, using strengths and needs to define and individualize service. We believe children and families should have the greatest possible access to services, as well as maximum voice and choice in planning, carrying out and evaluating those services.

Our Community Supporters
EMQFamiliesFirst, a private, nonprofit agency, works closely with county partners in children and family services. We take pride in our ability to take a leadership role in implementing coordinated services and being responsive to our county partners and families. We have an active donor community, including organized groups of volunteers who contribute countless hours of time and talent coordinating fundraising projects for the benefit of our children and teens at risk or in crisis.
