Too Many People Are Still Unable to Get the Help They Need
Across California, families are searching for mental health support and can't find it—whether due to cost, long waitlists, or a lack of providers who understand their communities. For many youth and families, these barriers mean going without care entirely.
CytiCares was created to change that—by bringing services directly into communities and building a stronger, more diverse mental health workforce to meet the need.
