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.
Our dedicated teams work collaboratively and in partnership with family members, school administrators and faculty, county social workers, case managers, probation officers, and other agencies.
In response to COVID-19, we have transitioned to telehealth services over the phone or video, however, some of our programs have now returned to providing in-person services to clients and families upon request. Please call for more information prior to coming into our offices.
