Programs & Services

At Monterey County Behavioral Health, our caring team and partners are here to support individuals of all ages, offering assistance from early pregnancy through the senior years. We work with children, youth, adults, and families. In partnership with others throughout the county, we promote prevention, mental health, and substance use services in a variety of settings such as outpatient, residential, and school-based. Our services are provided to those who are experiencing severe mental illnesses and substance use challenges. This includes MediCal eligible beneficiaries and those within underserved populations, ensuring that everyone finds the support they deserve.

If you or someone you care about needs help, contact our ACCESS Team at 1-888-258-6029 for a warm, caring, and confidential conversation.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis that does not require an urgent response, please contact the Community Crisis Line of Monterey County (answered by Suicide Prevention Service of the Central Coast) at 1-866-615-1060, where support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will be connected to a trained counselor. When appropriate, you can also be linked to a community-based mobile crisis in person. Services are available in English and Spanish.
