Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our veterans. Our program Courage to Call is a veteran-led program where those who have served support fellow veterans, active duty service members, reservists, guard members, and their families. Their tireless work ensures that no one faces life’s challenges alone, offering connection, understanding, and care rooted in shared experience. To all who have served: thank you. Your strength and dedication inspire us every day.

Mental Health Systems is transitioning our name and logo to TURN Behavioral Health Services in 2022.
About us
Who We Are Since our founding in 1978 as Mental Health Systems, we have grown to become an established behavioral health services provider in prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery services. We do this by offering innovative services focused on mental health, supportive housing, substance use disorders and assisting those transitioning from the justice system. Our clients are our community, and they include youth, veterans, and people who represent all facets of our society. They share a singular commitment to recovering and thriving. To better reflect our purpose and mission, we are in the process of formally changing our name to TURN Behavioral Health Services in 2021 (starting out by referring to our organization as Mental Health Systems/TURN). We believe this change better reflects the breadth of all the services we provide and our commitment as a leading 501(c)3 non-profit agency to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities impacted by behavioral health challenges. As we phase into our new name, Mental Health Systems/TURN pledges to continue to strengthen our continuum of care and holistic approach to support our clients in improving their health as well as relationships with their family and community. As an industry leader, we never stop seeking innovative solutions, and our diverse workforce and culturally competent programs embody our core values of Integrity, Diversity, Mentorship, and Inclusion. Currently, Mental Health Systems/TURN operates more than 80 community-based programs throughout California for people who either cannot afford privately paid services or for whom appropriate services are not otherwise available.

Today is Stress Awareness Day — a meaningful opportunity to pause, reflect, and prioritize our mental well-being. At TURN, we understand that stress impacts everyone differently. That’s why we’re committed to supporting our community through compassionate care, whether it’s through therapy, peer support, or simply offering a safe space to talk. Let’s use today to honor our mental health, practice self-care, and extend empathy — to ourselves and to those around us. No one should have to navigate stress alone.

In times of uncertainty, our mission of improving lives becomes even more vital. TURN CEO Jim Callaghan shared how we're navigating the current federal funding pause and changes to Medicare—and why private support is making all the difference. “Private support is more than a financial lifeline—it’s a promise that we won’t let uncertainty interrupt care. When government funding is delayed, donor contributions allow us to keep our 60 programs running, our staff supported, and our clients—children, teens, adults, and veterans—cared for.” -Jim Callaghan Interview With TURN CEO Jim Callaghan: Navigating Uncertainty With Purpose - MHS/TURN: https://lnkd.in/gVxvUSAZ #SupportMatters #FundingHope #CareWithoutPause
