The Youth and Family Gathering is an ongoing event that happens several times throughout the year. The gathering includes collaboration with youths from Korean Community Services, Vietnamese Community of Orange County and OCAPICA.

The purpose of the Project FOCUS Youth and Family Gathering activity is to build social support, resources, and friendships between the families. The gathering increases family’s participation in the youth’s recovery and treatment. Most importantly, the gathering helps build healthy, caring and strong relationship within each family.
