The Center has developed into one of the largest mental health centers of its kind in Los Angeles County. In our current 45 programs across 14 program sites, the Center serves clients of all ages from infants to older adults with a full continuum of services for each age group. Over 93% of every dollar donated goes directly to programs and services. We have received numerous awards from local and state legislators who recognize the outstanding work we do here at the Center. Through its programs and services, the San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center, Inc. strives to: • Facilitate and encourage the development of each consumer to his/her highest level of functioning and potential including vocational opportunities. • Provide effective and culturally sensitive therapeutic services based on each consumer’s individualized needs, strengths and choices. • Maximize the involvement of consumers and family members in planning, evaluation and implementation of services. • Provide a continuum of therapeutic programs that include appropriate alternatives to psychiatric hospitalization and effectively serve consumers in the least restrictive setting possible. • Provide early intervention programs that serve to prevent the onset of mental illness or the development of more serious mental illness. • Eliminate negative perceptions and increase awareness and understanding of mental illness. • Promote the highest level of social inclusion and community integration for all persons served. • Provide education on current issues and problems in the community to citizens and community agencies.
