More About The CALICO Center

CALICO is the only multi-disciplinary interviewing center serving Alameda County. As part of a national movement of child advocacy centers, we ensure that children are not re-victimized by the very systems designed to protect them. We're an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance, an honor that demonstrates our high standards and proven record of effective investigation and response to suspected cases of child abuse.

CALICO serves children 2-17 years of age as well as a small number of developmentally delayed adults who were abused in Alameda County and provides family support services to their caregivers. In 2009, our clients were two-third girls and one-third boys. Approximately 74% disclosed sexual abuse and many were physically hurt, neglected, exploited as prostitutes, and/or exposed to violence in their homes and communities. The children we see are quite young: 40% were 2-6 years of age and another 40% were 7-12.

CALICO improves the quality of life of abused children and families in several important ways:

  • First, we stop the immediate violence for both the child interviewed and other children to whom the abuser has access.
  • Second, by coordinating the response of various agencies, we reduce further trauma to the child that would result from being part of multiple investigations.
  • Third, by connecting abused children with therapeutic support, we can break the inter-generational cycle of violence and help a child onto a path of healthy adulthood

Bryan Craft of J. Rockcliff Realtors Earns a Tiffany & Co. Diamond Necklace from Welcome Home!

First comes surprise...

followed by an excited smile...

and the anticipation of what's to come.

You know the look --- it's the one

you see on prospective buyers'

faces when they walk into

your open house.

Bryan knows Home Staging is key to his selling success - and that's why he has Welcome Home to tie it all together. As a special Thank You to Bryan for referring us to his colleagues Sam & Mary Parwiz , who had Welcome Home Stage their listing at 449 Oakshire Place in Alamo, CA, Donna and I presented him with a little blue box that often produces the same type of excited smile...

Featured will be Linden Street's beloved "Urban People's Lager" and the Brewery's newest release, "Burning Oak Black Lager", which will be served to you by Oakland Rotarians.

Join hundreds of your friends and neighbors for Oakland's best hometown brew; enjoy local farm-to-you food; dance to the sounds of local Blues artists, Rick Baskin & Friends; visit with some of your favorite farmers and grocers; learn about "Meals for Change" locally sourced catering options and refrigerated "grab and go" entrees coming soon to local grocery stores; then lift your glasses to Oakland's spirit of service.
