Pacific Clinics and Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC) announced an agreement to provide continuity of care and expand high-quality behavioral health and support services for children, youth, families and adults in northern Santa Clara County beginning July 1.

Mobile Crisis team members are certified first responders trained to prevent or de-escalate crisis situations and provide support in the community to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.

Pacific Clinics' newest service offering in Santa Cruz County, the Watsonville Community Hospital Program, helps minors experiencing a mental health crisis in the hospital's emergency room.

The Pacific Clinics Head Start program adopted a campaign to increase program visibility and boost enrollment of eligible children and families in Glendale, Pasadena, Altadena and the surrounding areas.

Our ongoing efforts to deliver high-quality mental health services and supports continue to receive positive media coverage:

• In a recent article, the Los Angeles Times quoted our Asian Pacific Family Center's Mental Health Therapist Kevin Nguyen about mental health within the Vietnamese community.
• SFGate published a full-feature story on Pacific Clinics’ Solano Mobile Crisis program and its new direct line.
• Pacific Clinics' TRUST program was recently highlighted in the San Jose Spotlight as local officials announced their plan to allocate additional funding toward mental health services in the upcoming budget.
