SACRAMENTO — On June 21, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Encompass Community Services celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Sí Se Puede Behavioral Health Center. This innovative center will expand mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment for youth and young adults in the Santa Cruz area. DHCS awarded Encompass more than $9.3 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to build this center that will address gaps in behavioral health care.​​

With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.​​ 

“Addressing behavioral health issues early is crucial for ensuring a long, healthy life,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Holistic, youth-centered community organizations like Encompass play a critical role in this effort. We are pleased to support Encompass and their new state-of-the-art treatment facility.”​​ 

"Tau 50 xyoo, Encompass tau muab cov kev pabcuam kho mob zoo thiab tsom mus rau tus neeg rau peb lub zej zog," Monica Martinez, CEO ntawm Encompass, hais. "Lub Chaw Sí Se Puede tshiab tso cai rau peb txuas ntxiv ua tiav peb lub hom phiaj ntawm kev ncaj ncees kev noj qab haus huv rau txhua tus los ntawm kev nthuav dav ntawm kev pabcuam kho mob hauv tsev thiab sab nraud rau cov hluas thiab cov neeg laus." Ntawm Encompass, peb ntseeg tias txhua tus neeg yuav tsum tau txais txiaj ntsig ntawm lub neej ntev thiab noj qab nyob zoo.​​ 

This construction effort, an element of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, is a historic investment by the Newsom Administration that provides grant funding to local governments, businesses, nonprofits, and tribal organizations to construct new facilities and expand existing facilities that help children, youth, young adults, and pregnant or postpartum individuals and their families with mental health and/or substance use disorders. The building of new behavioral health centers is a key component of California’s Mental Health for All Initiative.​​ 

ENCOMPASS TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH CAPACITY EXPANSION PROJECT: Encompass’ Sí Se Puede Center will provide multiple treatment services, including American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 1 Outpatient Treatment and Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) services for opioid use disorder, Driving Under the Influence/Drinking Driver treatment programs ranging from six weeks to 18 months, and family-based treatment. The center’s community classroom offers prevention, education, wellness, and recovery support programming for youth and families.​​ 

The center will include two facilities: an adult residential treatment facility for SUD treatment and recovery with 30 beds, including seven reserved for transition-age youth, and an outpatient SUD treatment facility that will offer a medical clinic and full spectrum of therapy and treatment spaces. Both facilities are projected to serve an additional 1,300 community members each year.​​ 

Encompass’ Sí Se Puede residential program has a rich history in the Santa Cruz community. The program, led by Latinx staff with lived experience, has served thousands of community members on their healing journey since the early 1990s. The Spanish term, “Sí Se Puede” translates to “Yes, you can,” which will continue to serve as the program’s mantra for client recovery and the journey to better health.​​ 

Other services offered at the new behavioral health center will include one-on-one sessions, group and family-based treatment options that integrate motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention services. Encompass’ Sí Se Puede Center received funding through BHCIP Round 4: Children and Youth.​​ 

WHY BHCIP IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS competitively awards eligible entities funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure to further expand the range of community-based behavioral health treatment options for people with mental health and substance use disorders. BHCIP aims to address historic gaps in the behavioral health care system and meet the growing demand for services and support throughout the lifespan of people in need.​​
