Central Star Behavioral Health

Youth Psychiatric Health Facility Serving the Central Valley

Central Star Behavioral Health is dedicated to serving clients with the highest dignity and quality of service. We provide a Youth Psychiatric Health Facility (PFH) located in Fresno that serves young people in crisis throughout the Central Valley. We serve youth from the counties of Stanislaus, Madera, Mariposa, Tulare, and Fresno.

Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF)

The Central Star Youth PHF is a newly remodeled 16-bed facility at Kings Canyon Road and S. Cedar Avenue in Fresno, that focuses on acute care, stabilization, community transition, and aftercare for youth ages 12-17. The Youth PHF coordinates with families, counties, insurers, and community-based organizations for aftercare and maintaining safety for youth.

The 7,100-square-foot facility has nine double client rooms, its own kitchen, common areas, an outside courtyard with a basketball hoop, as well as many other age appropriate amenities.

The Central Star Youth PHF:

  • Provides intensive treatment programs with individualized care plans for up to 16 clients and their families
  • Offers counseling, psychiatry, medication support, nursing, and rehabilitation services including therapeutic group activities and expressive arts
  • Moves clients through five phases: admission; engagement; learning; stabilization; and linkage to resources and aftercare
  • Provides services on a voluntary or involuntary basis
  • Accepts Fresno County clients with Medi-Cal and those who are impoverished
  • Is available for contracting with Central Valley counties
  • Is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services

New contracts with private health insurers mean that many adolescents throughout the Central Valley can now have access to care. Fresno County’s Department of Behavioral Health has authorized the Central Star organization to contract with other counties and with private commercial health insurers.

Client Success Story

“People who know me say I’m a lot happier and calmer now. I’m not angry anymore. What changed is how I look at things. You guys gave me a lot of coping skills. I want to stay where I’m at now and grow so I can continue high school and go to college.”
-Madison, Age 15, Full Service Partnership Program

New Parent Café

Merced CSU

Central Star TEAMMATES enhances their WRAPAROUND Program with new "Parent Café"

The staff at Central Star TEAMMATES Wraparound was recently recognized by the company’s management for its innovative creation of their Parent Café. The café brings caregivers together to offer them training and support. Often these are foster parents who might feel a bit overwhelmed and who welcome the support and tools.
