Summary of Request:
Star View Behavioral Health, Inc. dba Star View Adolescent Center in Torrance, California serves highest needs adolescents in California. Star View Adolescent Center is a comprehensive mental health treatment program for young people with severe emotional challenges who cannot be treated effectively in other existing community based intensive treatment programs. Multilevel programs provided by Star View Adolescent Center combines high quality residential care and educational services with mental health treatment and rehabilitation. Integrated programs provided by Star View Adolescent Center eliminates the need to admit children in acute psychiatric crisis to a hospital where they are unknown and very well might not be able to resume their residential placement. Star View Adolescent Center treats children who have experienced severe complex trauma, or children with serious emotional challenges requiring intensive services in a secure environment. Star View Adolescent Center is a 60 bed facility that serves children ages between 12-17 years old.
Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that are able to provide the mental health services to adolescents provided by Star View Adolescent Center. As a result, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) hopes to continue to contract with Star View Adolescent Center for fiscal year 26/27 for adolescent mental health services to qualified Mendocino County clients where two adolescents are currently receiving services. Through the proposed agreement, BHRS will continue to provide mental health services to already placed adolescents in Star View Adolescent Center, where they will receive array of mental health services with an overall goal to improve client functioning and successfully discharge or transition them to a lower level of care including community placements or to families/guardians.
