Center for Human Services

Our stories matter. During Mental Illness Awareness Week, we’re reminded of the importance of breaking stigma, building understanding, and making sure people have access to the support they need.

At Center for Human Services, our Mental Health Services provide counseling and case management for children, adults, and families throughout Stanislaus County.

If you or someone you know needs support, call our Community Counseling Clinic at (209) 526-1440 to learn more about available services.
