About Us

Since 1892, Wellspring Family Services has been a private, non-profit organization helping area families achieve self-sufficiency. Our services have changed over the years, but our commitment to a stronger, healthier community has never wavered.

Our mission

Wellspring Family Services builds emotionally healthy, self-sufficient families and a non-violent community in which they can thrive. In 2008 we served more than 6,000 people. By addressing the overlapping issues of mental health challenges, domestic violence, and homelessness we help strengthen our community by providing families with the solutions they need to build healthy relationships and stable lives.

The need is great

You don't have to look far to find someone in need of our services. In King County:

• 2,922 children and their parents are homeless every night
• 23,000 children witness domestic violence in their homes
• 25% of our adult population has mental health issues
