At GVBSC, we work as a team to empower caregivers and clients to achieve the skills they need to access a meaningful and fulfilling life.

At GVBSC, to maintain an environment where vulnerability is valued as a critical component of learning and empowerment, we operate with kindness, compassion, integrity, and respect for the perspectives each team member and client bring to our community.
We have 2 center-based locations, downtown Grand Junction and Redlands. However, we provide services in multiple settings: home, community, and in our centers.

We demonstrate this respect through our commitment to and recognition of the many dimensions of diversity, and through our support of racial, linguistic, neurological, physical, gender, ethnicity, age and overall cultural diversity in our organization and in our services.
The GVBSC team is proud to represent all aforementioned dimensions of diversity.
