To say 2020 was a challenging year would be an understatement. The year brought with it unique challenges and showed us that our most vulnerable populations are hardest hit when major crises occur.
As Aviva Family and Children’s Services navigated uncharted territory, and the devastation of the virus on our Los Angeles communities, we were mindful that our role, our expertise, and our deep and abiding commitment to our mission were more necessary than ever before to the families we serve.
The pandemic affected every part of our community: our families, children, teachers, social workers, care providers and our staff. During the pandemic, we saw increased suffering in our communities, with demand for our services soaring more than 20%.
Yet through the creativity and flexibility of our staff, we met the increased needs. We provided compassionate care and maintained safety and wellness protocols. We helped to guide families and children to brighter futures.
