Does your child enjoy popular computer games such as Minecraft? Does your child need to work on social skills? If you answered yes to the previous questions, we have the ideal summer group for your child! BACA is starting a Minecraft Social Skills group for kids/teens from 3rd-10th grade. There are limited spots for this group and at this time, it is mainly offered to clients that are Out-of-Network (clients with Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, and Value Options cannot sign-up for this program). Please contact the front desk at (408) 996-7950 for more information or fill out an interest form here.

BACA has opened an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adolescents ages 12-17. Click here for more information. Download a brochure on the IOP at BACA
