Crossroads Family Center in El Cajon provides specialized mental health services for children and youth ages 5-18 (extending to 21 when clinically appropriate) who are experiencing Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED). Their comprehensive care includes behavioral health evaluations, psychiatric assessments, medication management, and various therapeutic approaches including individual, family, and group counseling. The center also offers case management, parenting support, substance use prevention and treatment programs, and crisis intervention services. Understanding that accessibility is crucial for families, Crossroads delivers services across multiple settings including community locations, homes, schools, and their clinic. Their facility is strategically positioned near Interstate 8 with convenient public transportation options and on-site parking. To reach underserved populations, they extend their care to rural eastern San Diego County communities through in-home services. The center embraces a family-driven philosophy that actively incorporates all family members in treatment planning and implementation, recognizing the vital role of caregivers in a child's recovery journey. As part of the Community Research Foundation, Crossroads ensures financial barriers don't prevent access to care, welcoming Medi-Cal beneficiaries, Medi-Cal-eligible individuals, and those without insurance.
