Major Activities

Activity 2

School-based program: mental health services are offered to children and teens at more than 20 schools within the long beach unified school district. The program provides access to children and families who are reticent to attend a traditional mental health care clinic for services. Program coordinators work closely with school counselors to identify children whose behavior is interfering with their ability to function effectively in school or at home. Therapists provide individual, family, and group therapy at the school site or in the child's home, working to increase the child's ability to function at school, in the home, and in the community.

Activity 3

Intensive services: specialized services for children with serious mental illnesses who are at risk of out-of-home placement such as foster care, psychiatric hospitalization, or juvenile detention. Staff members work with clients in a community setting, at home, in school, or in courts to help the children reduce symptoms of depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, past trauma, and to improve their quality of life. Staff also help clients manage their anger, increase coping skills, reduce family conflict, and increase self-esteem.
