Star View Community Services

Each year, Star View Community Services provides home, school, and community based services to more than 1000 Los Angeles County youngsters and their families. Most services are community-based provided in homes and schools.

Community services are family-centered, strengths-based and needs-driven. Interventions build on client, family and community strengths. The focus is always on client needs and client voice.

Community services are provided by dedicated teams working collaboratively and in partnership with family members, county social workers, case managers, probation officers, and other agencies.

  • psychiatric evaluation and medication support
  • individual and family therapy
