Kaiser Permanente Partners with Children's Nurturing Project

Kaiser Permanente in the Napa Solano area is partnering with the Children’s Nurturing Project to help those who have experienced trauma, violence and loss in Solano County through their Solano County Trauma Recovery Center (TRC).

Kaiser Permanente psychiatrists, through their Volunteers in Public Service (VIPS) program, will consult on six cases a month, providing guidance and support to the clinicians and staff at the TRC. VIPS support projects that positively impact local safety net clinics and non-profit organizations.

The Solano County TRC helps victims of violent crimes by providing access to much needed resources like case management, mental health counseling, referrals and assistance filling out California Victim Compensation Program applications. Victims of crimes are entitled to use their services without worrying about insurance coverage. Children’s Nurturing Project is one of six such centers in the state.

“This partnership ultimately is about helping the people of Solano County get the services and help they need when confronted with a traumatic life event,” says Debbi Davis, CEO of Children’s Nurturing Project. “We are grateful for the partnership and Kaiser Permanente’s expertise in this area. The knowledge that their psychiatrists bring, helps us treat the most vulnerable of patients.”

Located in Fairfield at the Sullivan Interagency Youth Center, the TRC began services in 2015 and anticipates serving roughly 300 people per year through screening, referral, mental health support and advocacy.

“Working with the TRC allows me to provide care to those who need it most,” says Dr. George Paz, psychiatrist with Kaiser Permanente in Vacaville and one of the doctors consulting with the TRC. “Providing psychotherapy to those who have survived trauma and helping them move forward is something that helps the entire community.”
