Services Offered
Individual and Family Counseling - Teens and families can receive individual and family counseling with caring professionals who specialize in adolescent and family development. The goals of therapy include identifying the problem, providing relief through understanding, education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a creation of steps towards resolution.
California Victim Compensation Program - Offers mental health services through AFS for individuals who are victims of a crime, suffered emotional injuries as a result of witnessing a violent crime, or are directly affected by a crime. A police report must have documented the crime, and requested VCP services through AFS must be within one year of the criminal incident.
WHY TRY - The One-Eighty is an adaptation of the evidenced-based WhyTry LLC program. The program focuses on teaching middle and high school students how to overcome their individual challenges in a group setting. Facilitators see positive outcomes in issues of truancy, behavior management, decision-making, academics, and emotional regulation (with the use of DBT techniques). These groups run between 12-15 weeks in select junior high and high schools around Lodi and Stockton. Each group is tailor-made to meet the expressed needs on campus. (Examples include anger management, substance abuse, gang prevention, low academic achievement, cutting, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety.)

Qualifying for assistance from California's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to California's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
