Rio Vista CARE is a non-profit community-based Counseling and Family Resource Center committed to promoting healthy and productive lifestyles for youth, adults and families of the Delta area.
CARE was founded and incorporated in 1985 by a concerned group of community leaders who saw a critical need for counseling services and drug and alcohol prevention programs for local children and families.
2010 marks our 25th year of service to the community.
Rio Vista is a farming community on the banks of the Sacramento River in southeastern Solano County. The city's population is currently 8071; however the population of our service area has been estimated at 10,000 . Many of the families we serve live in the outlying rural area--on farms in the Montezuma Hills, in the unincorporated communities of Birds Landing and Collinsville, and on several Delta islands. Because of its geographical isolation from the closest neighboring cities in Solano, San Joaquin, Sacramento and Contra Costa counties, Rio Vista is in many ways an underserved population.
Our professional counselors provide individual and family counseling, as well as alcohol and drug abuse prevention, intervention and treatment services in our schools and community.
The Center also helps families to access community and county services and supports parents in raising healthy children by conducting parenting support groups and home visits to isolated families.
