The agency provides mental health welfare-to-work support services for the children and families of TANF recipients or people who are eligible to receive CalWORKs and live in the San Gabriel Valley area (SPA 3) of Los Angeles County. There are income and geographic restrictions.

If the child of a CalWORKs recipient has a mental or emotional disorder which constitutes a barrier to the parent's employment of further participation in the CalWORKs program, the program provides mental health evaluation, child guidance, family counseling, and parenting skills development under the same conditions as the recipient herself. Services may include individual and family therapy; in-person crisis intervention; medication monitoring; and psychiatric case management. An assessment for medical conditions which may aggravate the mental/emotional condition and appropriate referrals are also made.

Child care is provided and transportation assistance such as van pick-up, taxi vouchers or bus fare is provided on a case-by-case basis. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Call for an intake appointment. FEES/PAYMENT SOURCE There are no fees for CalWORKs participants.
