San Francisco Opens First Teen Mental Health Center
San Francisco celebrated the opening of its first dedicated mental health center for teenagers, a facility designed to address the growing mental health crisis among youth. Located in Redwood City, the center will provide therapy, crisis intervention, and support groups tailored specifically for teens and their families.
“Our young people are facing unprecedented challenges, and this center represents a safe space where they can find the help they need,” said Mayor Daniel Lurie at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The facility is part of a broader push to expand mental health services across the city, particularly for underserved populations.
Parents and community leaders praised the initiative, calling it a much-needed resource. Advocates have urged the city to replicate this model in other neighborhoods, emphasizing the need for accessible mental health care for all demographics.
