These services include assessment, outpatient therapy, treatment groups, psychological evaluations, crisis services and linkages to housing, jobs, medical and family services. This is a collaborative partnership with the Probation Agency, Behavioral Health Department, District Attorney, Public Defender and the Sheriff’s Department.

This includes providing comprehensive forensic mental health assessments and treatment, counseling, competency training, mental health symptom management, skills and community support.
