Camino a Casa by Casa Pacifica

Camino a Casa by Casa Pacifica In network with most providers. Casa Pacifica is a leading provider of children’s mental health services in California with a focus on the Central Coast.

We specialize in adolescent mental health treatment for youth ages 12-17 who struggle with emotional dysregulation and high-risk behaviors that jeopardize their safety at home, school and in the community. Though Casa Pacifica has served children and youth in the foster care and education systems since 1994, four years ago we opened our doors to clients with private insurance. Called Camino a Casa (the road home) this program offers Casa Pacifica’s clinical expertise and experience treating children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral issues to the community at large. A full range of behavioral health care has been designed to address the needs of children and youth from ages nine through 17 and their families. Intensive residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and in-home behavioral services comprise Camino a Casa’s continuum of care.

From vine to jar!

This week, our youth got to roll up their sleeves and harvest 12 pounds of grapes from our teaching garden. They then washed, crushed and cooked the grapes in the Susan & Ken Bauer Teaching Kitchen, stirred in a bit of sugar and created some seriously delicious homemade jam!

Along the way, they practiced teamwork, patience, and got to taste the sweet reward of their efforts.

Moments like these help our youth build confidence, try new things and discover just how fun—and tasty—learning can be!
