Serving communities with health, dignity, and joy.


SAVE Family Foundation is a Sacramento and Yuba City-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit building systems of care for physical and mental well-being, with programs dedicated to maternal health, youth mental health, and whole-family well-being. 


Too many people in our community can't access the mental health support they need.

Long waitlists, high costs, and limited local providers leave individuals and families without care. SAVE Family Foundation is working to change that, through therapy access programs, maternal mental health support, and a growing network of trained clinicians serving Sacramento and Yuba City. 

Who we serve

We work to help all people. We serve vulnerable populations, individuals and families facing barriers that impact their mental and physical health, stability, education, and overall well-being. This includes: 

Housing Insecurity

Individuals experiencing or at risk of housing insecurity. 

Mental Health Challenges

People facing mental health challenges, trauma, or major life transitions. 

Economic Hardship

Families navigating economic hardship or unstable support systems. 

Underserved Communities

Communities that have been historically underserved or overlooked. 

OUR 2026 GOAL

Save Family Foundation has one clear goal for 2026: 
helping people feel more supported, resilient, and able to cope with life’ challenges.

Mission

Save Family Foundation exists to strengthen physical and mental well being among vulnerable populations by developing thoughtful solutions, fostering trust, and working alongside partners to build ethical, sustainable systems of care.

Vision

SAVE envisions community-centered engagement that advances well-being at the individual and population level by addressing the core drivers of health.

Purpose

SAVE is guided by a commitment to selfless service, working alongside communities to support health, dignity, and joy.

Programs designed to meet people where they are.

From maternal mental health to clinical training that expands access to care 
— Every program is built around the families and communities we serve.


Maternal Mental Health

SAVE's Maternal Mental Health Access Program supports pregnant and postpartum mothers through wellness education, community support, and access to care. It's designed to help mothers feel informed, supported, and more confident as they move through pregnancy and after birth, free and open to anyone who wants a supportive space to learn, connect, and ask questions.


Practicum Training Program

We are an approved practicum site at our Sacramento and Yuba City locations, dedicated to supporting supervisees in providing high-quality, compassionate care. Supervisees serve real clients across a range of populations while developing their own therapeutic approach, exposed to a breadth of evidence-based modalities under individual and group supervision.

 
Youth Prevention & Well-being

Through school-based groups, community sessions, and in-house programming, we support young people across a range of well-being topics — from emotional regulation and healthy relationships to life transitions and safety. We also facilitate the MindOneSix curriculum by Pro Youth and are developing a breathwork program focused on nervous system regulation and resilience. 

There's a place for you at SAVE.

Whether you want to give, get involved, or find support — we'll meet you where you are.
