Welcome
We’re Glad You’re Here
Since 1974, La Cheim has developed a robust continuum of care to help vulnerable and marginalized children, adolescents, and adults throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Our educational services include a non-public school and an in-home therapeutic behavioral services program. Our mental health services include a short-term therapeutic residential treatment center for male-identified youth, as well as a Community Mental Health Center that provides mental health day treatment for adults, and school-based therapeutic services for Oakland youth.
