Starfish Family Services

Our Mission: Starfish Family Services provides integrated, high-quality 
programs and support services that build on the strengths and assets of families 
focusing on early childhood education, empowering parents and caregivers 
and wellness and behavioral health for children, youth and adults. Our mission 
is strengthening families to create brighter futures for children. Our vision is 
a just society in which all children, families and communities have equitable 
opportunities to grow, learn and thrive. Programs and services offered by 
Starfish are high-quality, research-based, and evidence-supported. By focusing 
on the best practices, we aim to achieve three outcomes: healthy families, 
successful students, and empowered families.

What’s New?
Starfish Family Services offers a variety of services. We operate 15 Early 
Childhood Centers that are housed in Detroit and Wayne County, serving over 
1,400 children annually. We are proud to be a member of the P-20 Campus at 
Marygrove, an all-in-one campus offering a continuum of support for fami-
lies starting with prenatal partnerships and extending to K-12 and pathways 
beyond. Our Behavioral Health Services (BHS) is a comprehensive approach 
in supporting children, youth, adults and communities. We offer BHS services 
in 11 school centers, in 3 outpatient clinics, in home-based programs and via
