Humboldt County Children's Behavioral Health

Humboldt County Children's Behavioral Health, located at 2440 6th Street in Eureka, California, delivers a comprehensive range of mental health services for children, adolescents, and families across the region. The facility is committed to improving the well-being of youth with complex emotional and behavioral needs, including those involved in the juvenile justice system.

The center provides specialized assessment, therapy, individual and family counseling, medication support, and case management tailored to each child’s needs. Key programs include Functional Family Therapy (FFT) for adolescents facing challenges such as substance abuse, delinquency, and family conflict, and Aggression Replacement Training (ART), a structured group intervention model that addresses aggressive behavior in adjudicated youth. Children and families benefit from evidence-based treatment plans delivered in clinic, home, or community settings.

The New Horizons Treatment Program—an 18-bed locked residential facility—offers integrated care for youth in the juvenile probation system, emphasizing continuity of care with aftercare services post-discharge. Additional programming includes Therapeutic Behavioral Services for eligible youth, court-ordered treatments under the Healthy Alternatives program, and Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) services for transition-age youth (16–26). Through a coordinated, trauma-informed, and family-centered approach, Humboldt County Children’s Behavioral Health helps young people build resilience and achieve positive long-term outcomes.
