Mental Health Branch
Led by Dr. Deidra Somerville, we are the first YMCA Mental Health Branch in the nation. Our services are on-site and in-person care for youth, adults, and families across the Bay Area.
We deliver therapeutic approaches to serve the community; rooted in evidenced-based mentoring and mental health practices.
At the YMCA of Greater San Francisco we believe wellness is essential and achieved through healthy spirit, mind and body. Our holistic approach leads us to deliver critical mental health resources across San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin, to youth through afterschool programs and families in through our comprehensive resource centers.
Some of the programmatic examples of how the Y is delivering Mental Health Services include the individual and group counseling sessions via our Early Periodic Screening and Diagnostic Testing (EPSDT) program in schools, family counseling sessions in our Family Resource Centers, trauma recovery mental health services in community and via home visit, domestic violence counseling, and a host of mental health services provided by the San Mateo Youth Services Bureaus.
We are committed to supporting and nurturing families in developing connected, productive, and healthy youth who can navigate the future and contribute to the community, by delivering therapeutic approaches which are equally rooted in evidenced-based mentoring practices and mental health modalities.
