History
In 1999, a group of social workers and therapists based in Long Beach, California took an interest to develop their own non-profit with the focus of providing comprehensive behavioral treatment programs for adolescents.
​
Under the name H.V. Group Home, the program purpose was to provide an intensively structured residential facility for those adolescents aged 11 to 18 who had not been able to be treated in existing community care facilities within Los Angeles County.
The Bayfront Youth & Family Services Board of Directors is comprised of experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds in mental health, family therapy, and IT.
