As the new school year kicks off, we at Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley (BGCSV) want to take a moment to highlight a crucial aspect of our commitment to our community’s well-being: our Mental Health program. This program is available to all members at no cost, regardless of insurance status, and is a vital part of our commitment to ensure the well-being of every young person who walks through our doors.
Why Mental Health Matters to Us
At BGCSV, we believe that mental wellness is just as important as physical health. The challenges of the past few years have placed significant stress on our youth, making it more essential than ever to provide them with the support they need to thrive. Our Mental Health program is here to offer that support.
What Our Mental Health Program Offers
Our Mental Health program is designed to be comprehensive and accessible, ensuring that every member has the opportunity to receive the individualized care they need. Here’s a look at what we provide:
- One-on-One Counseling: Members can access personalized one-on-one counseling sessions right at their BGCSV site, whether they’re at one of our school locations or the Maxwell Clubhouse. These sessions are tailored to address the unique challenges each child may be facing.
- Tools for Wellness: We equip our members with the tools to better understand their mental health and manage their emotions. Our program covers essential topics like stress management, coping strategies, and building resilience.
- Accessible Services: We know that transportation can be a barrier to receiving care, which is why our program runs during regular BGCSV afterschool hours. Counseling is available on-site, making it easy for members to access the support they need.
- A Network of Trained Professionals: Our team of trained mental health professionals is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care. We partner with counselors from Sonoma Valley Family Therapy. They have extensive experience working with youth and are excited to work with BGCSV.
