Children and teens experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties that create barriers to learning can receive help from Didi Hirsch’s School-Based Services. Our therapists work in over 90 schools spanning six school districts and numerous charter organizations in Los Angeles County. They provide support, crisis intervention and evidence-based mental health services, helping students to develop coping skills they can use to be more successful at school, at home and in the community. Mental health services are available in English and Spanish. Check with each of our sites for additional language capabilities including Korean, Armenian, Farsi, Amharic, French and Catalan.

If it was not for the lady I spoke to yesterday…I was in a very bad place. Thank you so much, thank you.
They kept me alive. I don’t know how I would have survived without them.
When I hit my lowest point, Didi Hirsch was my lifeline.
I learned how to balance being a mother and a woman in recovery. Via Avanta gave me the skills I needed for life, allowed me to be a parent to my daughter.
Didi Hirsch helped me a lot - through the therapy, psychiatry, medication, and being able to open up and share in the groups
