Details: Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County changes lives for good. We help people of all cultures and beliefs rise up out of poverty and overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency. Because most lives are a complex pattern of choices and circumstances, we take a holistic approach to helping people change their lives, taking into account the whole person as well as their family and life situations. We do this through a broad range of services, including job skills training and placement, older adult services, mental health and substance abuse counseling, housing assistance, financial education, immigration support, and refugee resettlement. We also provide educational programs that help young people develop into self-sufficient adults. Each year, we serve more than 37,000 people in need. Issues such as depression, mental illness and substance abuse can be major barriers to achieving economic self-sufficiency. They can keep a person's life in constant turmoil and make it hard to hold down a job or achieve other important goals. Often times, persons facing these issues will experience unemployment, homelessness and other related socioeconomic problems if their condition is left untreated. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County offers a number of services that can help older adults, adults and children get on the road to wellness and recovery to overcome these barriers and make positive life changes. If you or someone you know are facing problems as a result of these issues, we may be able to help. Most of our programs are funded by MediCal, State and Federal Grants or local grants and serve specific vulnerable groups struggling with these issues.
