The agency provides a broad range of critical programs and services to some of the most vulnerable children and families throughout Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties By using a multidisciplinary, inter-organizational and culturally responsive approach, BCC works to strengthen the ability of families of children and youth at-risk of child abuse and/or neglect to support and encourage their children's healthy development.
