Overview

Vista Del Mar provides trauma-responsive services for children, youth, and families in Southern California, including residential treatment, mental health care, early intervention, adoption and foster care, and a state-certified school (The Vista School). It is funded as a non-profit through donations, grants, and billing for services, delivering a continuum of care from early intervention to residential programs in West Los Angeles with a family-centered, trauma-informed approach and on-site schooling plus professional training. It differentiates itself by offering education, mental health, adoption/foster care, and residential care all under one organization, supported by a long history dating back to 1908 and a focus on trauma-informed care and family empowerment. Its goal is to help children, youth, and families become self-reliant, stable, and productive by providing coordinated services that support emotional, social, learning, and developmental needs.
