Channel Islands Social Services

CISS is a family-​operated, pri­vate ser­vice orga­ni­za­tion com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing quality respite care to families in Ventura County, CA. We know how stress­ful life can be with­out sup­port from friends and fam­ily. Like­wise, all of us need a break from time to time to help us take care of our own needs and to refo­cus our own pri­or­i­ties, so that we can con­tinue to be strong for those who need us.

Our com­mit­ted team of care­givers spe­cial­izes in pro­vid­ing sup­port to a vari­ety of fam­i­lies includ­ing those car­ing for peo­ple who have devel­op­men­tal dis­abil­i­ties (such as but not lim­ited to Autism, Down Syn­drome, Cere­bral Palsy, and intel­lec­tual dis­abil­i­ties), Fos­ter Par­ents and Kin­ship Care­givers of young children.
