Children's Services

Children with ADHD

Sierra Vista has developed a specialized program to provide intervention and support to children coping with Attention- Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The ADHD Clinic emphasizes a treatment model that addresses the multiple difficulties faced by children and families affected by this disorder. Successful treatment of ADHD requires a multi-modal approach to address social, academic and emotional difficulties. Most importantly, we provide support and understanding of the challenges facing children and families affected by ADHD. Services are designed to promote the child's success in the home, school, and community.

Children's Outpatient Counseling

This program provides mental health services to families with children ages 6-21 experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Services include assessment and evaluation, individual, group and family counseling, school consultation and advocacy; parent education groups, children’s social skills groups and medication services when needed.

Home Based Services

Home Based Services program provides an intensive, in-home, clinical program focused on reducing the risk of out-of-home placement and psychiatric hospitalization for children and transitional age youth. Services are delivered in the family home and include individual, parent and family counseling. Participants are referred by mental health providers in the community.

Early Intervention

The Early Intervention Program provides comprehensive child and family counseling services to families with children from birth through five years of age. The primary goal of the services offered through the Early Intervention Program is to provide early identification and intervention to the child and family in order to prevent more serious problems later in the child's life.

Childcare consultation services and outreach are provided to schools, teachers, daycare providers, and family resource centers. Stanislaus Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and the Children & Families Commission provide funding for this program in an effort to assist children, families, and childcare providers in obtaining early and preventative mental health services.
