Programs

Prevention

From September 2022 to May 2024, Villages of California has provided services to 11,658 families and served 39,712 people through community initiatives.

We know that in order for our clients to do well, we need to ensure that they are thriving in every aspect of life - physically, socially, and mentally. The team at VOC addresses behaviors that impact our clients’ academic success and helps develop healthy family and peer relationships, while addressing mental health and substance abuse challenges.

We are actively creating events and opportunities to de-stigmatize mental health and eliminate as many barriers to care & resources as possible.

Intervention

It has been recognized that clients and their families often fall through cracks in a system that lacks resources to address the various struggles that youth and families encounter. We envision a system of care where mental health services are carefully designed and delivered within a school and home setting to create a safety-net for vulnerable families in our community.

What does that look like?
