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 for our Private Healthcare Services, which provide intensive mental health services using a team-based approach to achieve crisis stabilization for children who need a higher level of outpatient services.

Initial services are short-term (usually four months long), and clients are assigned to a three-person team that works to stabilize them enough to transition back to Kaiser for long-term mental health care as needed.

These intensive outpatient services, which treat ages five to twenty-one years old, incorporate data-driven approaches and evidence-based practices to each personalized treatment session that include:

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

– a Clinician who provides individual or family therapy that also works with the parent/caregiver if needed.
– a Rehabilitation Specialist who provides individual behavioral therapy and can also work with the parent/caregiver to provide behavioral replacement/coping skills in addition to setting up schedules and consequences.
– a Case Manager who meets with the parent/caregiver, on an as-needed basis, to connect them with services and resources to meet recovery goals.

• services in English, Spanish, and other languages through an interpreter.

• accessible meeting options through telehealth, in-home, or a combination of the two.

Eligibility for Private Healthcare Services requires Kaiser Permanente Insurance and only with a referral sent to us directly through a Kaiser psychiatrist and case manager. We encourage members to contact Kaiser directly and ask about our services.

Community-Based Services

We also provide support to parents, caregivers, and families to improve relationships, develop skill sets, and cope with symptoms in a positive and safe way.

These outpatient services, which treat ages three to twenty-one years old for a span of one to nine months, incorporate data-driven approaches and evidence-based practices to each personalized treatment session that include:

• services in English, Spanish, and other languages through an interpreter.

• accessible meeting options through telehealth, at one of our offices, in-home, at school, in the community, or wherever is convenient.

Permanency Services

Our Permanency Services help families navigate the foster care or adoption journey with the goal of reunifying with their children or transitioning them to adoptive families, whichever will provide the best outcomes.

Our success rate is due to combining research evidence alongside clinical expertise to deliver effective, positive outcomes individualized to your family’s needs. Foster care services typically span one to two years, and adoption services span between three months to four years, however, our in-house providers offer support for as long as needed.

These outpatient services, which treat children up to age twenty-one, include:

• supporting parents navigating through foster/adopt approval.

• supporting parents through the adoptions process.

• mentoring support for adoptive children, youth and parents.

• foster/adopt and post-adopt parent support groups.

• specialty mental health care for foster/adopt and post-adopt youth.

• identifying foster/adopt and post-adopt community resources to develop a supportive environment.

• accessible meeting options through telehealth, in-home, or a convenient public location.
