The stories featured in this report reflect the strength and resilience of our community. They remind us that hope and healing are possible.

One client, Geoffrey, came to us after a series of hurdles and ongoing mental health challenges. Today, he is using his lived experience to support others as part of our dedicated team. Janie reached out to us during one of the hardest periods of her life. She is now sober and gives back as president of our client-led Consumer Quality Assurance Board, offering hope to others who are beginning their own recovery journeys. Their courage inspires us, and their progress shows what is possible when care is accessible and rooted in compassion.
We also highlight the work of one of our mobile crisis teams. These specialists meet people in moments of distress, helping to de-escalate situations and connect them with support. Their commitment saves lives and strengthens our safety net.
At our historic Hollygrove campus, we are preparing for a future that expands care across all ages. The beautiful 3.5-acre site will become a hub for the community, soon providing a Family Resource Center, wellness center, career services, integrated medical, dental and mental health services alongside children’s programs that have anchored the campus for over a century. This work reflects our belief that whole-person care should meet people where they are and help them build the life they envision.
Across the state, we continue to grow and develop innovative solutions that bring behavioral health support to communities that have long lacked it. Our goal is simple: no matter who you are, where you live or where you are on your journey, we are here. We are committed to advancing health equity and ensuring every child, adult and family has access to the mental well-being they deserve.
With gratitude,
Kathy McCarthy CEO/President

Story of hope
Expanding the Hollygrove Campus Community In the heart of Hollywood, Pacific Clinics’ Hollygrove Campus is a center of care and community for children and parents. The 3.5acre campus supports more than 2,500 children and their parents each year through specialized programs that help them navigate social-emotional and behavioral challenges.
But there’s room for much more. Pacific Clinics is ushering in the next generation for Hollygrove campus through an expansion that meets the community's growing and changing needs. Mariana Shpall, executive director of Los Angeles – West Region, and Amy Sanchez, senior vice president of clinical strategy and growth, are leading a multi-phase project to transform the campus and its services.
4
In a recent needs assessment, community stakeholders asked for a central hub of expanded services for children, adults and families. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the need was even greater. Pacific Clinics shifted to meet this greater need, as we have done for more than 150 years.
“I will only ever work in community mental health. It is my job to align with this community to make sure they are seen and heard, and that’s an honor.” Mariana Shpall, Executive Director Los Angeles – West Region
Story of hope
“Right now, we have so many success stories with families,” said Shpall. “Children learn to process trauma and function socially and go to school. Parents learn how to establish structure and help their kids with homework. And now, informed by what our community wants, we have a chance to build on that to serve family members of all ages.”
Expanding our Hollygrove Community
Phase one expands our family, children and caregiver offerings to include adult behavioral health, employment and wellness services. In the future, we will feature a medical and dental provider on-site, as well as offerings in culinary arts and a computer center.

The most common early onset diagnoses related to trauma and stress for children ages 6-10 would present as social withdrawal, acting out or behavioral challenges. Depression emerges in early adolescence, which confirms what we know about age of onset for mood disorders, and what many of our clients are experiencing at that age. 6

Pacific Clinics uses a "Needs Evaluation Tool" (NET) to illustrate the role of social drivers of health in mental health care, which include employment, housing, legal support, food shortages, transportation and more. About 20% of our clients who responded have immediately pressing employment needs. Participating in our specialty mental health programs clearly shows significant positive changes in social drivers in health.

Story of hope
Peer Support and Recovery at the Clubhouse In 2020, Geoffrey experienced a series of lifechanging setbacks. After the death of his employer, Geoffrey lost his job. When his savings ran out, and he could no longer keep up with rent payments, he lost his home and had to send his daughter to live with her mother to keep a roof over her head. Newly unhoused, Geoffrey fell into narcotics and ended up with a schizophrenia diagnosis.
After months of battling his drug addiction and mental challenges, Geoffrey found his way to Pacific Clinics in 2022. His initial draw to the agency was for the morning coffee and a daily meal – especially appealing in the High Desert in San Bernardino County, where winter mornings can be very cold. Geoffrey soon learned that the Pacific Clinics Clubhouse had much more to offer him.
“I found purpose and a family at the Clubhouse,” said Geoffrey. “I was able to get clean and take classes about living with addiction. I learned coping skills, and I had structure, which was so important to my recovery.”
Today, because of Pacific Clinics, Geoffrey has been able to stay sober, secure and maintain housing, regularly communicate with his daughter and he’s employed by Pacific Clinics, offering peer support to others going through similar challenges. “My favorite part of the job is listening to folks,” he said. “Sometimes being heard is the best medicine. Knowing someone cares about you and understands can do wonders when you’re used to feeling like your voice doesn’t matter.”
One of five Clubhouses, the Yucca Valley Clubhouse is a center of peer support, recovery and personal development, where adults can access mental health support, build meaningful relationships and enjoy art classes, community events and daily lunches.
For me, the Clubhouse is a place of growth – mental, emotional and social. It’s my safe spot.” Geoffrey, Peer Partner

Story of hope
Mobile Crisis Response: Care at a Crucial Time Mobile Crisis Services, which are currently offered in Santa Clara, Solano and San Benito counties in Northern California, offer in-person rapid response to clients who call emergency hotlines while encountering a mental health crisis. The team, comprised of therapists, social workers and other crisis professionals, assess risk, de-escalate the situation on-site whenever possible and develop a safety plan, which helps prepare them to stay safe if another crisis occurs.
“I love that I am a part of an organization that is piloting new models of care and new approaches to crisis intervention,” said Mae Sampani, executive director of crisis services at Pacific Clinics.
The State of California now mandates that all counties must offer 24/7 access to crisis services 365 days a year. This requirement is hard for smaller counties to fulfill on their own, but providers like Pacific Clinics have the infrastructure, expertise and resources to help.
“Our teams create jobs, divert hospitalizations and free up space in emergency departments that are already overwhelmed. And we connect individuals to the longterm behavioral health services they need.” Mae Sampani, Executive director, crisis services 12
While Mae builds the crisis response system, Bella Diaz is the boots on the ground. Bella returned to her hometown of Hollister as a crisis clinician when the San Benito County response team formed in April 2025. “It is such an honor being able to serve my community and provide outreach and collaboration with community members and providers including behavioral health, schools, hospitals and law enforcement," she said. “Addressing crises is a team effort and being able to meet clients where they are and provide trauma-informed care is essential to the work that we all do.”
For Mae and Bella, the primary goal of these programs is to avoid unnecessary emergency department or psychiatric hospitalizations. The secondary goal is to minimize involvement from law enforcement by having mental health experts on the scene to help de-escalate situations. Mobile Crisis Response Teams ensure the mental health needs of the community are addressed by experts.
Story of hope
Personalized Recovery Through Outpatient Counseling At 19 years old, Janie found herself unhoused and using drugs. Her life experience was shaped by a traumatic past that resulted in harmful ways of coping, severe anxiety and aggressive and risky behaviors. This led to isolation, loss and abusive partners who furthered the deterioration of her mental health.
Janie knew this was not sustainable. In an act of courage after a hospitalization, Janie reached out to Pacific Clinics for help. She was placed in the Full-Service Partnership program, which provides intensive services tailored to the level of support she needed. As Janie made progress, she moved from intensive services to the Adult Outpatient Mental Health program, where individuals and families collaborate to create personalized treatment plans. Janie developed a plan with her care team based on her goals, moving through different tiers of support to adapt and eventually progress into a wellness program.
Today, Janie’s commitment to her well-being is evident through her 13 years of sobriety, her healthy relationships with her family and partner, and her numerous active roles in Pacific Clinics’ peer-run groups. Janie is seen as a leader among her peers. She is president of Pacific Clinics’ Consumer Quality Assurance Board (CQAB), a forum for clients, or members as they are called in this program, who live with mental health challenges to advocate for one another and discuss program and service needs. “I was drawn to the way the Pacific Clinics team conducted themselves in my therapy and in groups. I wanted to be like that, too, and I came to see it was possible for me,” she said.
Janie’s recovery has inspired her to give back to her community, which she does by sharing her story and advocating for Pacific Clinics clients.
“Pacific Clinics helped me build selfesteem. The services and treatment I received helped me see that I could recover and be part of a team.” Janie, Client and President of the Consumer Quality Assurance Board 13
