With a population of over 115,000 Vallejo is the largest city in Solano County. Vallejo is about 30 miles north of San Francisco and located along San Pablo Bay. It is within driving distance of Point Reyes National Seashore. Mare Island, located along the shore of Vallejo, was once reserved solely for government use.1 In May 2007, the city of Vallejo became the largest city in California to declare bankruptcy. It was said that the primary reason for this was the large amount of funds that went to public safety workers. Way back in 1851, Vallejo was actually for a short time the capital of California. Because the city failed to construct a proper capitol building, this honor did not stick and eventually the capital moved to Sacramento.
Mental Health in Vallejo
Vallejo is a medium-sized city in the San Francisco Bay Area. The city is home to many different peoples, with a large population of African-American, Asian, and Hispanic residents. Additionally, nearly 30 percent of Vallejo citizens are under the age of 18.2 Because each of these populations is generally underserved when it comes to mental health care, city and county governments, as well as other public and private agencies have made it a priority to provide quality, accessible healthcare for all.
The Fighting Back Partnership is a coalition of local government agencies, businesses, and citizens that seek to improve neighborhoods, strengthen families, and provide support services for the city's youth. Mentorship and tutoring programs are available for children who are at-risk of academic failure or of entering the juvenile justice system. Neighborhood-based resource centers provide families with resources they need to develop knowledge and skills required to improve family and community functioning. Neighborhood revitalization programs are also offered. For more information about these programs, or to make a donation, call 707-648-5230.3
