Mental health services for youth across Northern California

We serve children, youth, and young adults ages 3–25 across Northern California, meeting them in the places they already are, including school, their homes, and in the community.

We support young people who are navigating

Mental health challenges
The effects of trauma
Learning disabilities
Difficulty with emotions or relationships
Developmental delays

Including young people who are

Facing financial hardship
Involved in the justice system
Pregnant or parenting
Navigating the foster care system
Receiving special education services

How referrals work: Youth are referred to OTTP-NorCal through their schools, the Department of Public Health Behavioral Health Services, community partners, and social workers. The referral process is dependent upon the specific program the youth is being referred to.
