The Guidance Center is excited to announce our new partnership with Century Villages at Cabrillo, where we will be providing mental health services directly on-site for its residents.

Located in West Long Beach, Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) is a nonprofit community development organization that serves as the steward of the Villages at Cabrillo, with a vision of breaking the cycle of homelessness. In addition to property management, CVC provides affordable housing to low-income families, and offers supportive services which aim to empower residents, restore health and inspire hope. Some of the families at CVC have received help at our Long Beach Clinic, but for others, there were barriers, such as transportation or childcare, that prevented them from getting treatment. Now, through this partnership, we will have two therapists placed on the CVC campus several times a week, eliminating those barriers by bringing the services directly to the residents. Over the summer, our therapists have attended staff meetings, community events, back-to-school fairs, and parent meetings on the CVC campus in order to promote the new co-location services.  We are excited about the opportunities this new partnership provides and more importantly, how we can help these children and families toward a positive and productive future.
