EMBRACE Mental Health

EMBRACE Mental Health exists to restore personal and relational vitality to youth and families in the communities, homes, and schools where they live and learn. EMBRACE (formerly Community Options for Families & Youth) began its operations in 2007 in Contra Costa County as a provider of children’s mental health services. Our focus continues to be engaging and supporting not only children but also caregivers and the entire networks that surround them, to maximize the possibility of sustained change. To maintain our focus and quality of care, we hire and develop team members that are committed to our mission and values, and foster a strong collegial community and ongoing professional development. EMBRACE provides four distinct services for school districts, including assessments, counseling, and case management, and operates four mental health programs for youth and families in Contra Costa County.
