CHS kicked off the year by celebrating our incredible staff at our January All-Staff held at Dave & Buster’s!

The day was all about appreciation, connection, and fun. Staff enjoyed a delicious spread of chicken sliders, fries, flatbread pizza, salad, and a variety of desserts. The celebration also included Bingo and a Vision and Goal Board station. Throughout the venue, staff had fun playing games like Dance Dance Revolution, Pac-Man, bowling, and axe throwing. We were also excited to welcome Modesto Children's Museum, who led a Coaster Creators Outreach Workshop. It was a great evening spent having fun, connecting with one another, and celebrating together.

Thank you to our CHS staff, your dedication, compassion, and hard work make a real difference in the lives of the youth and families we serve every day!

CHS’s Integrated Mental Health Program (IMHP) is improving access to school-based mental health services in Stanislaus County. By placing cross-trained clinicians directly on campuses the program removes barriers and keeps families from having to start over with new providers. Now in its second year, with new partnerships through the California Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, CHS will continue expanding mental health access for local youth.
