The Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness invites community members and partners to a ribbon cutting and open house to celebrate the opening of its relocated South County Child and Family Services Center, 315 W. Haley St., Santa Barbara.
The event, 1-2 p.m. May 1, will highlight expanded access to behavioral health services for children, youth, and families, with opportunities to tour the new facility and connect with staff.
The project was funded through a Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) grant from the California Department of Health Care Services.
Located on Santa Barbara’s Westside, the new center improves access by bringing services closer to where families live and go to school, organizers said.
Services at the Haley Street site include Outpatient Child and Family Services, Transition Age Youth Services, Justice Alliance Services, Homeless Services, and Mobile Crisis.
Limited parking is available at the site, but city Parking Lot 12 offers additional parking and is an eight-minute walk. Carpooling is encouraged. Accessible parking requests can be directed to suzkirk@sbcbwell.org.
For 24/7 assistance, call the Behavioral Wellness Crisis Response and Services Access Line, 888-868-1649.
