The Santa Clara County Mental Health Call Center is the centralized entry point for individuals who are seeking behavioral health services in Santa Clara County.
General information, appointments, and referrals are available during business hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Behavioral Health Call Center can be contacted regarding a behavioral health crisis that you or a family member might be experiencing after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, weekends, and holidays.
Staff will talk with you to clarify what your behavioral health needs are. The Behavioral Health Call Center will link you with the appropriate behavioral health service, county services or referrals to community services.
The primary function is to provide a 24-hour telephone service which
- screens for behavioral health needs
- directs callers to programs and services that are suitable for meeting their needs
- authorizes Fee-for-Services Medi-Cal visits
In addition, the Call Center provides telephone crisis intervention response to callers in an acute behavioral health crisis, attempting to stabilize them until a crisis counselor or other crisis services provider can intervene to provide more extensive or specialized service.
The Family and Children’s Services System of Care provides services to children and adolescents and their families who are experiencing extreme emotional distress. We address their behavioral health needs in the least restrictive, most family-like manner possible.
