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.

The Community Services program aims to "go the distance" for the clients and "do whatever it takes" to help them.

The Community Services program offers numerous different services and programs including:

  • school consultations and interventions and school-based programs
  • Co-occurring disorder dual diagnosis programs (for drug and alcohol related problems)
  • independent living skills programs
  • PRIDE program (teaching respect in interactions with the opposite sex)
  • central juvenile hall program
  • crisis intervention services
  • after-school group services
  • psychiatric evaluation and medication support
  • individual and family therapy
  • skills development programs
  • family preservation
  • case management services
  • Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS)
  • System of care permanency planning

The Community Services Program operates throughout Los Angeles County, with the largest numbers of clients coming from Service Planning Area (SPA) 8 (Long Beach/South Bay), SPA 6 (South Los Angeles), and SPA 4 (Downtown Los Angeles/Highland Park/Hollywood). It is housed in four separate locations.
