On this segment of SCVTV’s Community Corner, Nikki Buckstead, CEO of the Child & Family Center, addresses common challenges she sees affecting children, teens, and their families, plus the resources available to all of them.

The Child & Family Center was created to provide quality care and services to children and families in need in Santa Clarita since 1976. Their services, mission, and more information about their organization can be found on their website at ChildFamilyCenter.org.

Mental health issues can affect anyone at any age but it’s important to know that there’s a support system out there to help everyone live a happy and healthy life all year long.

If you or if someone you know is in emotional distress, may be thinking about suicide, or is worried about a loved one or a friend, please reach out to the Suicide and Crisis Hotline by calling 9-8-8. Additionally, please visit BeTheDifferenceSCV.org for additional resources and support.
