Provide a brief demographic and/or diagnostically descriptive statement about the population your program serves:
We provide therapy services in the community, out-patient clinics, in-home (rarely, but when clinically necessary), and in schools to boys, girls, and their families. Due to our various funding streams the populations we serve are extremely diverse in terms of age, diagnosis, income, and ethnic background. In fact, 64% of the clients seen at our sites are of Hispanic and African American ethnic and cultural identity We counsel many clients through our EPSDT (Medi-Cal) contract with Alameda County, accept clinic clients on sliding scale payment, and consult with educators and see students in the school at no cost. We work with many high-risk populations and their families, juvenile probation, at-risk youth, and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) individuals.
