San Francisco was among 54 awardees this year under the state grant program to build out behavioral health facilities for youth.
As a mental health crisis continues to impact children and teenagers across the nation, San Francisco announced today plans to open its first psychiatric hospital specializing in youth needs at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.
Currently, the only youth psychiatric beds in San Francisco are based in private hospitals. Just 15 beds exist in San Francisco for adolescents experiencing a mental crisis, located at St. Mary’s Medical Center. Because the few available beds are in private systems, it’s often difficult for uninsured and low-income families to get the mental health services they need. The new beds at S.F. General would be available to uninsured residents and those on Medi-Cal.
Health officials close to the plan said they are still working out details on how patients will be able to access the outpatient treatments, which could be for a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis or others.
