Our Commitment
equal access to care for all
Services
Transitional Psychiatric Discharge
Starting before discharge and continuing after inpatient care, we offer a supportive, family-like environment and consistent care to help prevent readmission.
Clinical Assessments
Within 24 hours after discharge, patients are scheduled for an assessment with our Psychiatrist to ensure their medication needs are properly addressed and to proactively identify and prevent any potential issues related to drug therapy.
Medication Management
Guided by our Psychiatrist, weekly follow-up appointments with our mental health Nurse Practitioner support the client in understanding their treatment plan and ensure medications are being taken correctly to achieve the best possible therapeutic results.
Targeted Case Management
We create personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs, combining service coordination, strong linkage to community resources, and ongoing support. From connecting clients with housing, healthcare, and education to monitoring progress along the way, every step is guided by a trusted relationship rooted in integrity, compassion, and a true commitment to their growth and success.
Individual & Family Counseling
Licensed counselors with advanced degrees offer confidential support for a wide range of concerns, including marital challenges, family conflict, substance abuse, domestic violence, grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
Trauma Support Group
Trauma can come in many shapes and leave deep, lasting marks—but healing doesn’t have to happen alone. Our support groups offer a safe, welcoming space to connect with others who truly understand. It’s a place to share, grow, and gain strength together while exploring recovery tools, finding your voice, and receiving the encouragement needed to move forward with hope and resilience.
Peer Support
Peer support brings people together who’ve been through similar experiences, offering emotional, social, and practical help to stay on track with a healthy lifestyle. It’s all about real connection—whether through regular check-ins, text messages, phone calls, or group meetups—whatever works best to keep the support going strong.
Substance Abuse, Relapse &
Suicide Prevention
Guided by our CASS/CAC, this group explores the link between suicide, addiction, and depression. Through setting recovery goals and learning effective strategies to manage depressive symptoms, clients begin to regain control of their lives and recognize the thought patterns that contribute to self-harm and suicidal behavior.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Psychosocial Rehabilitative services at our community center help individuals build confidence, develop life skills, and strengthen emotional well-being in a supportive, uplifting environment. Through group activities, creative workshops, and one-on-one support, we focus on practical tools for everyday life—like managing stress, improving social skills, and setting personal goals. It’s all about helping people reconnect, grow, and bring color and joy back into their daily lives.
Support & Advocacy
We advocate for our clients by communicating directly with doctors and social service agencies to make sure their voices are heard, their perspectives are respected, and they receive access to all the benefits and services they’re entitled to.
Housing Assistance
Our housing assistance program helps secure housing for Medicaid recipients age 21 and older who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and who have a serious mental health illness or substance abuse disorder.
Mobile Crisis Unit
Clients enrolled in our housing assistance program and experiencing a behavioral health crisis have access to our mobile crisis management team available 24/7/365. This intensive, on-site intervention reduces the chance of hospitalization or incarceration.
Youth Early Intervention Program
In partnership with Orange County Supportive Services' Breakthrough Program, we provide early intervention for high-risk youth with serious mental health diagnoses, aiming to reduce hospitalization, self-harm, and suicide.
Clients receive support from case managers and peer mentors to develop social skills, coping strategies, independent living abilities, and pre-vocational training, all with a focus on overall wellness.
We also offer real-world community experiences and dedicated time in our computer lab for homework, GED prep, job searches, resumes, and college applications.
