The mission of Walden House is to give hope and change lives for people affected by substance abuse and mental health conditions. We do this by offering behavioral health services and tools for living to youth, adults, and families throughout California. These services aim to relieve the burden of societal problems by promoting wellness, healthy relationships, productive living, and community involvement.
Walden House is guided by a belief in the transformative power of community and the agency’s values include respect, compassion, caring, and safety for all participants; social responsibility and dedication to equality and justice; the embracing of differences; and commitment to creativity and innovation. Our clients are those with the fewest material resources and the longest road to recovery. In our clients, we see great strengths and possibilities; with the right support, they can move from being the takers of things to the makers of things.
