Ramos, California Surgeon General & Dr. Sohil R. Sud, Director, Children & Youth Behavioral Health Initiative BrightLife Kids is not a substitute for clinical care. It’s a way to extend care beyond the office, ensuring families have needed guidance, tools, and community. By connecting families to BrightLife Kids, you can help bridge the gap between visits and make sure parents and children are getting the support they need when they need it. ![Office of the California Surgeon General logo](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/1kXWzXaM7WLP6N3bIgTGXk/52f1f3124adddabf3990ab8b2f9fbccd/Office_of_the_California_Surgeon_General_logo.png) ### Castle Rock Family Services As a family-owned practice, Castle Rock Family Services knows the importance of connecting kids and families with the right support.
