StarVista Archway

For more than 55 years, StarVista has continuously offered aid to individuals and families within the San Mateo County region of California. At this location in Redwood, the organization takes an integrative and empathetic stance toward mental health care, crisis prevention, and skill development for all ages.

Its unique approach toward accessibility allows the facility to serve thousands of individuals every year, from children to adults and everyone in between.

Community Programs and Services

StarVista features a variety of specialized and community-centered programs with retreats. One of their unique services is Kids Kamp which provides a free summer camp for kids aged eight to 12 whose parents are dealing with addiction and other mental health matters.

Their school-based services integrate mental health clinicians into elementary, middle, and high schools from multiple districts where they provide on-site assessment, crisis intervention, and therapy. This allows them to tackle and resolve fundamental issues that students encounter within the daily framework of their lives.

Their CWCRT or Community Wellness and Crisis Response Team pairs mental health clinicians with law enforcement in a co-response model where de-escalating responses are provided to meet mental health crises.

Aftercare and Unique Programs

The facility’s Daybreak Program targets support while also focusing on encouraging self-sufficiency as a means of achieving well-rounded, lasting stability. StarVista achieves this through self-empowerment programs that follow through with the individuals.

The Insights Adolescent Treatment Program offers tailored pathways to recovery through comprehensive outpatient services including in-house individual and group counseling, family therapy, active case management, and supportive parent engagement.

Aftercare resources built into specific program completion plans are highly individualized and StarVista helps clients make community connections to enable a seamless transition toward long-term recovery.
