Services

CalWORKs Behavioral Health Services are "Confidential". Services are designed to assist CalWORKs participants to overcome mental health and substance abuse issues that interfere with their ability to get or keep a job. Even mild emotional, alcohol or drug use problems can interfere with a person?s ability to stay employed.

Services are integrated and address mental health, alcohol and drug use issues. Service plans emphasize participant choice in the selection of services and goals.

Participants are taught to improve their skills in a number of areas that will help them to succeed in the workplace. These skills are:

    1. Attention and concentration

    2. Managing depression and anxiety

    3. Communication skills

    4. Prevocational skills: motivation, punctuality, hygiene & grooming

    5. Vocational skills: coping, problem solving, managing stress

If you believe that alcohol, drug use or emotional problems may be hurting your chances to be financially independent, or if you would like a professional assessment of this possibility you may:

    1. Contact the CalWORKs Behavioral Health Regional Program Coordinators at the locations listed under Service Providers

    2. Ask your Social Services Agency worker for an assessment referral
