About this facility
The Mobile Adolescent Services Team (MAST) serves children and youth aged 5 to 18 (and up to 21 if clinically indicated) who are identified as having Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) and are in juvenile court or community schools. MAST offers a comprehensive range of services, including behavioral health and psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual, family, and group counseling, case management, parenting support, substance use prevention and treatment, and crisis intervention.
MAST increases accessibility for behavioral healthcare by delivering services in schools and juvenile court to children who might otherwise not receive treatment. The team takes a family-driven approach, actively involving all family members in service planning and delivery. This inclusive strategy recognizes the importance of caregivers and other significant individuals in the child's life, fostering a supportive environment for recovery and development. Part of the Community Research Foundation, MAST ensures that no one is denied services based on inability to pay, accepting Medi-Cal beneficiaries, those eligible for Medi-Cal, and uninsured individuals.
