8,000 Foster Youth in California May Have Nowhere to Go "Many of the state’s 220 foster family agencies are on the verge of losing their liability insurance, without which they cannot legally operate. " This developing situation affects Aviva and other foster care agencies. Dive into the full story to understand what's at stake. 🔗 https://buff.ly/3ANNDC6

Every statistic represents real people with real stories. By raising awareness, supporting local initiatives, and advocating for comprehensive solutions, we can help make a difference.

Ask any of us why we work so hard to fight for our families, and we can tell you a dozen stories just like this of moms fighting so hard to keep their children safe. 

We're renovating the space previously known as Aviva High School to be a safe haven for unhoused and LGBTQ+ youth to receive critical services to support youth without the systems of support critical during this transitional age to adulthood. Opening Fall 2024, the drop-in center will include: ⭐ Access to shower and laundry facilities, food, clothing, and hygiene supplies.    ⭐ Mental health services, case management, healthcare referrals, educational support, and job placement assistance.   ⭐ Community and connection to give youth the tools and support to become independent young adults.

We have some fantastic job opportunities at Aviva—at all our locations: Lynwood, Van Nuys, Hollywood, and mid-Wilshire. We’re looking for qualified folks who care about local families. You’ll join a diverse team ready to support your career growth! #jobs

Let’s hear a big round of applause for Kim Peterson and her well-deserved promotion to Chief Operating Officer! Kim embodies the essence of compassionate leadership, making her an invaluable asset to Aviva and a beacon of inspiration for us. She says, “I’m excited to continue being part of the team that changes lives and creates brighter futures by expanding Aviva’s impactful reach.” We’re excited too!

👖 Standing strong on National Denim Day! Today, Aviva honors the courage of survivors and raises awareness about sexual assault. Denim Day is a call to action for all to stand in solidarity against sexual violence. Originating from a 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision that wrongly overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans, this day challenges misconceptions and supports survivors. Wear your denim proudly and join us in the fight against violence. Together, we can make a difference. #DenimDay2024 #AvivaCares

Happy Earth Day! Aviva recognizes the profound impact of our natural environment on mental health and well-being. At Aviva, we believe in the healing power of nature and integrate outdoor activities and ecotherapy into our mental health services. Let's cherish and protect our planet not only for its physical health but also for the sake of our mental wellness. Happy Earth Day! 🌍💚 #AvivaEarthDay #MentalWellness
