A large proportion of the Center’s clients suffer from the ramifications of child abuse, abandonment, domestic violence or other childhood trauma. Our goal is for 90% of clients to obtain services within 15 days of inquiry.Ĭlients requiring mental health treatment commonly have anxiety/stress disorders, depression and bipolar disorder, behavioral disorders such as ADHD, and/or substance abuse disorders. It ensures continuity for those in treatment whose insurance lapses and ensures timely service for new clients. Grant funds from the Foundation will enable clients without insurance to receive services at the Center, rather than deferring service until a source of payment is in place or the client going without therapy services entirely. Clients without insurance are primarily those whose Medi-Cal has lapsed, undocumented immigrants, recently divorced individuals who received coverage through a spouse and others facing challenges navigating the complex health insurance system. The funds will support Mental Health Services for children, youth and adults who don’t have any insurance.Ĭhild & Family Center primarily serves low-income families who otherwise do not have access to mental health and substance use services.
Child & Family Center has received a $15,000 grant from the Boston Scientific Foundation.
