About Us
Tulare Youth Service Bureau’s Board of Directors and Agency Staff wish to thank all of our community partners, funders, the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency, the City of Tulare, and most importantly, the families we serve for their ongoing support over the last forty years.
Our VISION is that children and families are happy, healthy, and empowered to achieve their highest potential; becoming self-reliant, accomplished, and able to determine and shape the future.
Our MISSION is to provide children and families compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health services that nurture hope, strengths, and healthy relationships at home, school and in the community.
We are committed to honoring the families and agencies we partner with, while at the same time providing Tulare Youth Service Bureau staff with an enriched working environment that enhances personal growth.
Full range services available in English, Spanish, Portuguese & Tagalog, with other languages available upon request.
