Now is the time to stand up for children!  With child abuse dominating both national and local news, it is an excellent time to partner with CALM in taking a stand against child abuse. CALM is the only organization in Santa Barbara County solely dedicated to the assessment, treatment and prevention of child abuse. Since its inception, CALM has touched the lives of more than 100,000 children. Last year we served more than 5,000 clients.

This April, rather than host a gala event, CALM is speaking up by holding an ‘I WILL NOT BE SILENT’, Silent Gala. Instead of spending precious resources on a party, all proceeds from our silent gala will be used directly for the assessment, treatment and prevention of child abuse.
