Mental Health Services

We nurture and support at-risk families and children.

Through compassionate care, we help create resilient children and families. We strengthen families as they transition out of the social welfare system. With culturally sensitive, trauma-informed services, we help families transform their lives by providing healthier ways to cope and heal.

How we do it:

  • Wellness Center at Hollywood High School
  • Prevention and Early Intervention Therapies
  • Los Angeles Unified School District On-site Mental Health Services
  • Juvenile Justice Programs

Services are available to families on site, in the community or in the home (depending on family’s location). Mental health services are individualized to fit each family’s need and preference, with a variety of Evidence Based Practice (EBP) Models. EBP Models currently available include:

  • Alternatives for Families-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT)
  • Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Ind. CBT)
  • Managing and Adaptive Practices (MAP)
  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
  • Seeking Safety (SS)
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

We also offer Outpatient Clinical Services (OCS), Full Service Partnership (FSP), and Wraparound Services.
