What We Do

Serving Santa Clara county for over 50 years, ACT provides vital, affordable mental health services to anyone in need.

History

History

Helping clients help themselves... The roots of ACT lie in the self-help, mutual support system of clients diagnosed with mental illness.

Counseling Center

The Downtown Counseling Center provides affordable counseling services for individuals and families.

Fireside Friendship Club

For people with residual mental illness, the Fireside Friendship Club offers a therapeutic, self-help social club.

Mujeres & Hombres

A program for Spanish-speaking men and women to help in dealing with the problems of everyday living.

Educational Services

At various times during the year we offer classes in topics such as anger management, effective parenting, and parenting after divorce.

The mission of ACT for Mental Health is to empower and rehabilitate persons who are socially, mentally, economically and/or situationally disadvantaged.

We fulfill our mission by relieving obstacles to emotional well being and by restoring and enhancing strengths through acceptance in a safe, stable and professionally guided environment which provides tools and support for resolution of personal, emotional and situational life problems

ACT is a unique agency. 

We are not modern or fancy, but we do provide quality counseling services at an affordable price.  We often do without new things, or things that would make our work easier, in order to minimize our overhead costs and decrease our costs to clients.

We rely on volunteers.  We welcome students, interns and community members who want to learn about mental health and provide a service to our clients.  We have volunteers who help us write grants, plan events and keep our office running smoothly.

On Sunday, May 6th, The Saratoga Rotary Club is hosting their annual art show.  Proceeds from this event help fund their Charitable Foundation which assists local non-profits like ours.

In the last year, The Saratoga Rotary Charitable Foundation assisted ACT with one-time expenses to develop our current website.  This has been a tremendous help in reaching new clients, explaining our services and connecting us to new referrers and funders.

ACT for Mental Health is online in a new way.  We are on Twitter & Facebook!

 

We encourage you to interact with us on any or all of our social media forums!  Please share your thoughts or ask questions!
