School and Community Based Programs

At East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC), we do more than just treat children who have serious difficulties--we implement community-based, family centered prevention and treatment programs to solve problems early on.

Through crisis intervention, teacher referrals, and individualized counseling, the Prevention and Life Skills (PALS) program promotes school success.

EBAC's three Healthy Start programs provide comprehensive and coordinated services reducing or eliminating physical, emotional, and/or social barriers to student success. Our Healthy Start programs, located in Oakland and Fremont, operate Family Resource Centers that provide mental health and family counseling; medical, dental and vision care; before and after school programs; adult education; food, clothing and emergency services; and much more to children and families in our neighborhoods.

In 2002, EBAC merged with The Child Assault Prevention Training Center, provider of the Child Assault Prevention (CAP) program, a world-renowned child abuse/youth violence prevention education model used nationally and in 18 countries.
