Community-Based Specialty Services

Our Community-Based Specialty Services keep families safe and together by focusing on the parent/child relationship through family communication and problem solving. If the child is in foster care, our goal is to facilitate family reunification and provide family stabilization.

These outpatient services, which treat youth to adults of all ages for a span of three to fourteen months, offer personalized treatment sessions that include:

• meeting at least twice per month with one or more of our three-person team:

– a Clinician who provides individual or family therapy.
– a Rehabilitation Specialist who provides individual behavioral sessions.
– a Case Manager who meets with the parent/caregiver, on an as-needed basis, to connect them with community services and resources.

Private Healthcare Services

Five Acres partners with Kaiser Permanente sites throughout the southern California area. Our Private Healthcare (PHC) Wrap program provides intensive mental health services using a team-based approach to achieve crisis stabilization for children. The goal of our program is to stabilize high-risk clients so they can then be referred to a lower level of care.

Our PHC Wrap services are short-term and clients are assigned to a three-person team that work to stabilize clients so that they can be referred to a lower level of care for additional mental health treatment.

Our PHC Wrap services provide outpatient services to clients that are between 5 – 21 years of age. We incorporate data-driven approaches and evidence-based practices to personalize treatment for every client.

Five Acres also provides Medi-Cal families with intensive outpatient to children/family throughout the southern California area through our Medi Wrap program. The Medi Wrap program uses a team-based approach to assist clients in reducing impairing symptoms and behaviors to prevent them from having to be referred to higher level of care.

Our Medi Wrap services are designed to provide services to Medi-Cal clients between 0 – 21 years of age that need individual therapy, behavioral support, and case management services.

For both PHC Wrap and the Medi Wrap Program, we incorporate data-driven approaches and evidence-based practices to personalize treatment for every client.

Our treatment team for both PHC Wrap and Medi Wrap Programs are composed of a clinician, rehabilitation specialist, and a case manager.

• The clinician provides individual and/or family therapy along with providing parenting support to assist parents in learning how to address their child’s current symptoms and behaviors.

• The rehabilitation specialist provides individual behavioral interventions to clients to assist them in managing their symptoms and behaviors by using a variety of coping skills, replacement behaviors, and behavioral plans developed with the family/team.

• The case manager provides targeted case management services to families/clients to provide them with a variety of resources that they might need (e.g., IEP assistance, extracurricular activities, linkage to government programs, food resources, tutoring, etc.).

We provide services in both English and Spanish. We also provide services in other languages via the use of an interpreter.

We have accessible meeting options via telehealth (computer & telephone), in-home services, or a combination of the two.
