Our Differential Response (DR) program from Clinica Sierra Vista is a voluntary
program that helps support families referred by Child Protective Services
(CPS). Differential Response case managers help families overcome struggles
so they can thrive and their children can grow in a safe and supportive
environment.
If you know of or suspect child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, report
it by calling
661-631-6011 in Kern County or
760-375-6049 in Ridgecrest to make a Suspected Child Abuse Report (SCAR).
