Our Mission
Felton Institute responds to human needs by providing cutting edge, evidence-based mental health and social services that transform lives. Founded in 1889, Felton is the oldest non-sectarian and nonprofit social services provider in the City and County of San Francisco. At the heart of our work is the belief that individuals and families in crisis must have access to services and resources to help them build on their inherent strengths and develop self-sufficiency.
