Our mission is to be a catalyst for sustained improvement in the lives of those we touch. It is a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.TALK (8255).

The Corporate Victor page is designed to communicate with both our employees and our customers the work that we are doing around the State of California. As a service provider with multiple offices and a broad set of mental health services, it is not always easy for everyone to stay informed. This page is one more tool to help stay connected as well as educate the public about what Victor offers. Su***de/Crisis Disclaimer

If you feel you are in crisis, please call the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline. Your call will be connected to the crisis center nearest to you. If you are in an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Victor does not offer emergency services.

We’re opening the door to a different view of Victor Care Network.

For the first day of our new mini documentary, our Oakland office became a film set. We prepared the room, checked the lights and sat down with Simona, Manuel and Yasmeen to explore the stories behind our work.

This reel brings you into the preparations that made those conversations possible. Next, we’re taking the cameras to San Bernardino.

What part of making the documentary would you like to see next?

Who’s behind the care in Hemet?

In this conversation, Molly Butler describes the importance of involving the whole family, including loved ones, in care. She also asks how colleagues can bring that same support to their relationships with one another.

Our Hemet team’s Halloween gathering offers a glimpse of those connections: creative costumes, recognition, and time to celebrate the people behind the work.

Watch the video to meet some of our colleagues and hear what teamwork means to them.

With Halloween around the corner, we wanted to share a few photos from our Hemet team.

The costumes are fun, but they also give a small glimpse into the people behind our work in Hemet.
This site brings colleagues together around families through Wraparound support, everyday coordination and a shared commitment to the community. It is also a place where team members make time to connect, celebrate one another and recognize the people contributing to that work every day.

Halloween gave the team a chance to bring some creativity and personality into the mix, while also taking a moment to appreciate the colleagues around them.

The costumes belong to one afternoon. The people behind them are part of what makes Hemet feel like Hemet 💛

Leadership development is a strategic priority at Victor Care Network, and our Leadership Development Program is one way we put that commitment into practice.

Victor leaders recently came together for a session in the year-long program, which builds leadership skills through workshops, peer learning and mentoring.

These photos offer a look inside one of those moments: time set aside to connect, reflect and learn alongside colleagues.

The program continues, and so does the learning 💛

When someone needs support, that need may touch more than one part of everyday life.

Behavioral health can connect with what is happening at home, at school, with physical health or in the community. When several forms of support are involved, understanding how those pieces fit together becomes part of the experience too.

That is the idea behind Network in Victor Care Network: creating stronger connections across care so people and families can move through support with greater clarity and coordination.

Together, “Victor Care Network” describes where the organization comes from, how it approaches support and the connections it continues to build around the people it serves.

Care can look very different from one person or family to another.

A young child may need early support that includes their caregivers. A family may need several people working together around shared goals. An adult may need help making sense of behavioral health, physical health and community resources at the same time.

Victor’s programs reflect that range because support is shaped by the person, their circumstances and what they need at that moment.

That is what we want the word Care to hold in Victor Care Network: support that can adapt, involve different people and take different forms while staying focused on the person receiving it.

Next, we’ll look at the final word: Network.

18/10/2026

Victor has been part of California communities since 1968.

Over that time, the needs of children, youth, adults and families have changed, and Victor has continued to evolve the way support is delivered.

What has stayed at the center is the organization’s mission: “To be a catalyst for sustained improvement in the lives of those we touch.”

That history is part of what the word Victor carries forward in the name Victor Care Network. It represents decades of work, the values that guide Victor today and a purpose that continues even as the organization grows and adapts.

Over the next two posts, we’ll look more closely at the other two words in the name: Care and Network.

What kind of person thrives at Victor?
There is no single answer.

Different roles require different skills, experiences, and perspectives. But some qualities can make a real difference in behavioral health and community-based work.

Working well with others is one of them. The work often involves colleagues, families, caregivers, and other people supporting the same person.

Adaptability is another. Needs and circumstances can change, and sometimes the approach needs to change with them.

Being willing to keep learning matters too. Training, feedback, and new perspectives can all become part of how someone grows in their role.

And for many people, it helps to know that the work connects to a larger purpose.

The right role is also about finding the right fit.

If this sounds like the kind of team and work environment you could see yourself being part of, take a look at current opportunities on Victor Careers and see where you might fit.

“They can focus on that for hours. So why not homework?”

It is a question many adults may have when a child’s attention seems completely different from one activity to another.

A child may stay deeply engaged with a game, drawing, building something, or learning about a favorite topic, then have a hard time getting through a shorter school assignment.
Different tasks can place very different demands on attention.

Homework may require a child to keep track of several instructions, organize materials, decide where to begin, ignore distractions, and stay mentally engaged until the task is finished.

When one of those parts becomes difficult, the whole assignment can start to stall.
That is why “try harder” does not always help explain what is happening.

Look at where the task begins to break down.
Did the instructions get lost along the way?
Is the first step unclear?
Does the task go on long enough for distractions to take over?

Finding that point gives you something more specific to respond to.

Strong focus in one moment does not erase the struggle in another.
What changes most between the tasks that hold your child’s attention and the ones that don’t?

“Why aren’t you listening?”
“Why did you forget again?”
“You just need to start.”
“Stop interrupting.”

Adults may say these things because the behavior in front of them is frustrating, confusing, or happening for the fifth time that day.
But for a child with ADHD, some of those behaviors may have more going on underneath them.

A child who seems not to be listening may be having difficulty keeping their attention on a conversation or following directions.
A child who keeps forgetting everyday tasks or losing things may not be showing that those things are unimportant to them.
Starting and completing homework or other tasks that require sustained attention can also be difficult.
And impulsivity can make waiting for a turn or holding back a response harder.

These behaviors can easily be interpreted as carelessness, lack of effort, or attitude.
They can also happen in children who do not have ADHD, and a single behavior is never enough to make a diagnosis.

That is why context matters.
Instead of beginning with:
“Why won’t you?”
Try asking:

“What’s getting in the way right now?”
That question does not excuse every behavior, but tt gives you more information about what kind of support may actually help.

Which gets misunderstood most often?
Not listening, forgetting, getting started, or interrupting?
