Mental Health Services
The Help Group Child and Family Center provides mental health services including individual therapy, family therapy, case management, and psychiatric services. They provide consultation, prevention, assessment, treatment, and linkage to other resources and services, in either English or Spanish. These services can be provided at home, at school, or at the office.
To be eligible for these services children must be in the Medi-Cal program. If your child does not have Medi-Cal, the Help Group will be happy to provide you with resources.
Parents can contact their child's counselor for more information and to learn how Palms supports The Help Group's efforts. Parents can also contact The Help Group directly:
