Organization Description
| Service(s) description | The School-Based Services (SBS) program provides mental health services designed to help youth learn to succeed in school, improve their grades, attendance and interpersonal relationships with their peers and families. Staff works closely with teachers, school staff, caregivers, parents, and participants to improve participants’ functioning at school and home. Working with individual students and their families, SBS staff evaluates each youth independently and develops a customized action plan to address each barrier to success. SBS is available to youth enrolled at the ele-mentary, middle, and high schools in Alameda county who have full-scope Medi-Cal. |

Our staff becomes a part of each school environment, contributing to the growth and increased potential of every student. The average length of service is about eight to ten months. Services are tailored to meet the needs of the individual student in a small supportive classroom environment that allows for individual attention. Classes are provided at a public school setting that will allow students to integrate into general education classes when ready. While the program addresses student challenges, it also attends to the needs of the entire family to offer services that may not be readily available to them. Our social skills building and academic support paves the way for students to learn. Individual and group therapy is provided at the school site and in-home family therapy is conveniently provided as well. |
