Family Paths

Meet Family Paths at Oakland Public Library

If you have questions about family support, parenting stress, therapy, or caregiving, this is a useful stop at the Main Library in downtown Oakland.

Family Paths will be at Oakland Public Library on Monday, August 10, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. The library setting makes sense for this kind of visit. It is public, calm, easy to enter, and familiar to a lot of Oakland families.

There are no listed stage performers for this event. The people to meet are Family Paths staff, who will be available to talk in person about therapy and referral resources for adults, couples, children, parents, and caregivers.

The group has been serving Oakland for decades, with support around parenting stress, communication, family relationships, trauma, and the daily pressure that can build up when people are caring for kids. They can also explain payment paths like sliding scale fees, Medi Cal through Alameda Alliance or Beacon, Victims of Crime funding, and CalWORKs with authorization.

This could be a good morning visit if you have been meaning to ask about help but did not want to start with a formal appointment. You can stop by, ask simple questions, and get a clearer sense of what might fit your family.

Where: Oakland Public Library, 125 14th St, Oakland
When: Monday, August 10, 2026, 10:00 am to 11:30 am
