About Us

CALM’s mission is to prevent childhood trauma, heal children and families, and build resilient communities throughout Santa Barbara County. As the county-wide expert in the prevention and treatment of childhood trauma, CALM has demonstrated success in promoting positive outcomes. From early intervention to intensive family services, our programs create a continuum of care that reduces the impact of trauma on children, families, and the community at large. Over 50% of our services are prevention focused. We’ve also built community-based partnerships to integrate mental and behavioral health into environments like schools and pediatric clinics. Together, these programs allow us to activate the social change and systems change necessary to address childhood trauma.
