Youth and Community Wellness:SBCS provides a full spectrum of services designed to offer youth and their families with the resources and skills they need to reach their full potential. Through wrap-around supports, youth are assisted in their transition to adulthood, enabling them to give their best not only to themselves, but also to their community. Programs include youth prevention and intervention diverting youth who are at-risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system or have committed low-risk offenses; Chula Vista and San Diego Promise Neighborhoods providing resources needed for children to excel in school, advance to post-secondary education, earn a living wage and lead healthy lives; foster and transitional youth support; and career and technical education for youth involved in the foster or juvenile justice systems or experiencing housing insecurity.Created by compassionate community members in 1971, SBCS has also grown to respond to overall community needs. Our Community Wellness programs are rooted in the neighborhoods we serve and work to cultivate leadership within them. Programs include promotora liaisons between families and support; Resident Leadership Academy advocacy and civic engagement training; and National City Family Resource Center providing wraparound services to families of school-aged children in partnership with local school districts.

Behavioral Health and Wellness:Behavioral Health and Wellness programs provide a continuum of services from early childhood development to transition-age youth support. This includes prevention, early intervention and treatment for our youngest populations, as well as education, and mental health counseling for school-age youth; Mi Escuelita Therapeutic Preschool for young children who have been exposed to domestic violence or abuse; and housing and independent living skills for youth transitioning to adulthood, including Our Safe Place LGBTQ+ youth community drop-in and support center. Through these services and supports, youth are assisted to reach their full potential.
