We're excited to announce that we will be entering into a partnership with Sycamores in the 24-25 school year! Starting this Summer 2024, Sycamores will begin to provide daily, on-site mental health services and case management for eligible students in addition to our existing mental health counseling team.

Sycamores coordinates a FREE program for incoming 9th graders at AUSD high schools. These sessions teach students coping skills, stress management, organization, conflict resolution and many more skills they will need in high school. Sign up today!

Sycamores may be able to see your child at home or at Monterey Highlands, starting as soon as this summer for free with Medi-Cal. Sign up today!
