The area affords many opportunities for diverse cultural and recreational outings. The Pacific Ocean beaches, the San Bernardino mountain resorts, museums, world-famous amusement parts, cultural fairs and exhibits, and local sports events are some of the resources that are used to expand our clients' abilities to enjoy leisure activities and improve their social skills. Victor Children's Services serves 36 emotionally disturbed youngsters in six residential RCL-14 homes.

Victor Children's Services specializes in serving youth who have a history of abuse, neglect, and multiple placement failures. Our program provides a stable, structured, and nurturing atmosphere which affords the children the opportunity to learn and grow new behavioral and life skills while being valued and protected. Our goal is to help children develop self-esteem, self-respect, and a sense of responsibility with control over the direction and quality of their lives.

Program Features:

A Sense of Vision . . .
Eagle Valley School is a state certified non-public school serving the academic needs of severely emotionally disturbed children. It provides a self-contained academic setting to ensure that its student can develop the necessary social, personal, and academic skills to successfully move to a less restrictive setting.

Within this academic setting students participate in vocational training programs, a variety of recreational activities, and day treatment rehabilitation services that are geared towards meeting the specific social, personal and academic needs of children.

The day treatment rehabilitation program integrates a comprehensive special education program with an intensive mental health treatment component within the setting of our state certified non-public school. This program consists of mental health clinicians, psychiatrists, and day rehabilitation counselors working as a team with the special education teachers to create an individualized educational and treatment curriculum that meets the specific needs of each student. These specialized programs are geared toward equipping each student with the necessary skills needed to allow the children to pursue their long-term goals and aspirations.

Program Features:

A Sense of Commitment . . .
Paramount in the Victor Children's Services/Eagle Valley School philosophy is the belief that mental health clients should be treated in the least restrictive community-based setting possible.

Most children and adolescents referred to our facilities have had numerous treatment, placement and school failures. So numerous, in fact, that if not for our programs, they would be sent to a locked psychiatric setting.

For over three decades we have been learning and exploring new approaches and developing a program of encouragement, support, understanding,
love and limits.

Our commitment is to SED children. We are determined to keep working with the client no matter how difficult and challenging the child is.

We believe that it takes very special people, with extraordinary talent, training, patience, and love to work with these children and adolescents.
We have made that commitment.

We believe we have a responsibility to go to extraordinary lengths to engage the child and family as full partners in the treatment of the child.
