Native family services organization to open two new wellness centers
The California based organization provides resources for youth mental health and substance abuse
Two Feathers Native American Family Services, a California-based organization, will open two new wellness centers in 2026, according to reporting by The Imprint. The centers, which will be in Northern California, aim to provide services for mental health and substance abuse for Indigenous children.
The organization has provided services since 2002, with the goal of preventing local Indigenous children from entering foster care. Rooted in tribal culture, the organization addresses youth violence, addiction and suicide through family counseling and traditional teachings.
“I have a lot of the same or similar lived experiences as the youth we work with,” executive director Virgil Moorehead Jr. told The Imprint. “I’ve always had that mindset of helping others and wanting to prevent things I went through.”
