SCTP carries on the mission of the former Santa Cruz County Arc founded in 1968. Our members develop a vision for their future as we assist them in participating and contributing to the community, and in making responsible choices. Those in our programs learn to exercise more control over their lives, to establish and maintain relationships, and to practice self-respect, acceptance, and personal safety. We value:
-The development and fostering of personal relationships with family and friends
-Individual and family initiative in making choices and expressing preferences
-Equal access to quality services and supports for all individuals
-Individuals as welcomed, participating and contributing members in all aspects of
family and community life
-The rights of all individuals and the preservation of their worth, value and dignity

Teddy Bear Clinic is next Saturday! 4/11 from 10am-11pm at Mariposa Community Health Center in Nogales by Walmart. The clinic found volunteer teddy bears who want to teach little ones what it's like to go in for doctor visits. Children take their buddy bear through stations to learn. They take home a new buddy to help with future visits, too!

Walk for mental health.

Spring trails, fresh air, and the sound of water guiding the way. 🌿🥾

Hiking through in spring means shaded paths, gentle creek crossings, and landscapes coming back to life. Every step invites you to slow down, explore deeper, and reconnect with the natural beauty all around you.

Sometimes the best adventures are found just beyond the trailhead. 😎

If you or someone you know has a disability and had to endure an emergency situation, what could the city or county have done better for you? Or what did they do well? The National Council on Disability wants your input to help to develop an emergency plan that helps all people.

You can click the link to read more, these are the questions they have. Please send your answers by 11:59 EDT on April 3, 2026 via email to NCD Senior Attorney Advisor Amy Nicholas at anicholas@ncd.gov.

1) What challenges and obstacles do state, local, territory, tribal (SLTT) governments encounter when creating an emergency management plan inclusive of people with disabilities?

2) How have SLTTs successfully incorporated the unique needs of people with disabilities in their emergency management plan?

3) Describe promising practices SLTTs have implemented to ensure incorporation of people with disabilities and its emergency management plan?

4) Provide community testimony of successful emergency management plan practices and/or failures which should be addressed in the toolkit?

5) Provide successful collaboration between the disability community and SLTTs in the creation of an emergency management plan. The information provided will be kept confidential and will not be attributed to specific individuals or organizations.

Your input matters. NCD has a request for information supporting the creation of a state, local, territory and tribal (SLTT) emergency management toolkit.
