Caminar CEO Mark Cloutier's opinion piece, "Using digital devices to lift up and support adolescents", was recently published in Youth Today.

In the piece, Mark asserts, "There needs to be a balance of technology usage in adolescents in order to maintain support in positive ways and avoid escalation to anxiety and depression."

And, "The view of technology exposure in adolescents is nuanced in that there are harmful amounts of consumption, and also ways to be productive in the time youth spend online. The older generations must be aware of both sides and encourage the younger generations to use their time wisely. Similarly, we should all do the due diligence to research and educate ourselves on policy updates to ensure that digital technology supports our youth rather than hinders their development.

We must identify and bring awareness to how digital technology can support development.

About Caminar

Founded in San Mateo, California, in 1964, Caminar’s thriving programs and services serve more than 14,000 individuals annually across San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Solano, and Butte Counties. Our nonprofit organization’s portfolio of behavioral health and supportive services empowers and supports individuals and families to move toward resilience, wellness, and independence. And, we are expanding our capacity to address the increasingly complex needs of individuals and families. Since January of 2017, we have added three divisions to the Caminar organization.

Our Divisions

Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley

Since 1948, Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley (FCS) has been promoting the resilience, safety, and wellness of individuals, families, and communities throughout Santa Clara County. FCS brings its counseling, prevention, and support services to dozens of community locations, including schools, community centers, jails, and health clinics. FCS counsels children and teens coping with the effects of trauma, provides a way forward for adults in recovery from addiction, and empowers families to heal from violence and abuse. FCS merged with and became a division of Caminar in January 2017.
