Star View Behavioral Health and Star View Children & Family Services
Star View Behavioral Health and Star View Children & Family Services provide programs for children and adolescents who face emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges and have difficulty succeeding in family or community living environments. An experienced staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental health specialists, parent partners, and other counselors provide case management, mental health care, and a range of support services in schools, homes or other community settings.

We are still here for you. We are providing services, but in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are transitioning to telehealth services over the phone or video for certain services. Please see below which programs’ facilities are open. For those that are “Phone Services,” please call rather than coming to our offices.
