CRF Mobile Adolescent Services Team

The Mobile Adolescent Services Team (MAST) serves children and youth aged 5 to 18 (and up to 21 if clinically indicated) who are identified as having Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) and are in juvenile court or community schools. MAST offers a comprehensive range of services, including behavioral health and psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual, family, and group counseling, case management, parenting support, substance use prevention and treatment, and crisis intervention. Family-Centered, Accessible CareMAST increases accessibility for behavioral healthcare by delivering services in schools and juvenile court to children who might otherwise not receive treatment. The team takes a family-driven approach, actively involving all family members in service planning and delivery. This inclusive strategy recognizes the importance of caregivers and other significant individuals in the child's life, fostering a supportive environment for recovery and development. Part of the Community Research Foundation, MAST ensures that no one is denied services based on inability to pay, accepting Medi-Cal beneficiaries, those eligible for Medi-Cal, and uninsured individuals.
