CIRCLE Clinic (Comprehensive Integration of Resilience into Child Life Experiences) | UC Davis Children Hospital

Empathy is at the core of our mission. Providing compassionate, trauma-informed, care is at the heart of what we do, creating a welcoming, trusting environment that promotes feelings of safety and acceptance. We celebrate each child and family and strive to support their needs and build on their strengths.

We recognize that a child is part of a family system, and we work collaboratively with all the members of the child’s ‘team.’ We practice an integrated and collaborative care model in which mental health, developmental and behavioral pediatric specialists, family navigators, care coordinators and general pediatricians work together to provide comprehensive patient-centered approach to medical care.

We acknowledge that the CIRCLE Clinic is a component of a community system of care. We take every opportunity to forge and sustain strong relationships with community partners to provide the best care possible for our patients and their families and contribute to the creation of a stable, sustainable medical home.

We promote resilience and empower families by recognizing each child and family’s unique strengths and by elevating their voice. We welcome all people with diverse life experiences and value opinions from children and families regardless of background, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.

We hold ourselves to the highest quality and standards of patient care. All services we provide are based on the latest evidence available with constant review of and tailoring to provide the best evidence-based practices.
