Psychiatric Medication Monitoring

The agency provides mental health welfare-to-work support services for CalWORKs participants and their families in the East area ( SPA 7) 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 or 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; crisis intervention; medication monitoring; and psychiatric case management. Assessment for medical conditions which may aggravate the mental/emotional condition and appropriate referrals are also available.
