Clinical Team Supervisor Grace Palenik brought art therapy to life at Pacific Clinics, helping our highest-touch clients, outpatient programs, older adult services and youth care. Her work is an important reminder that healing doesn’t always begin with words — sometimes, it starts with a paintbrush and a sheet of paper.

Several Pacific Clinics executives, program leaders and teams came together alongside thought leaders, policymakers and innovators across the state to lead and engage in sessions that sparked meaningful dialogue about how we can strengthen care for children, youth and families.

The Butter Paddle, whose proceeds benefit Pacific Clinics, will host a series of events celebrating their Los Gatos storefront’s 15th anniversary with a holiday sneak peek and open house, ribbon cutting, and an anniversary celebration with seasonal treats, live music and more. 

The Wellness Wheel illustrates how eight different areas of life contribute to overall well-being. Each month, we will explore a different element. This month, we explore the importance of financial wellness.

Pacific Clinics’ Differential Response program, based in the Bay Area and Capital Regions, is dedicated to helping youth up to 18 years old and their families stay together safely when one or more children may be at risk of an out-of-home placement.
