Located on the 5th floor of UCSF Health St. Mary’s Hospital in San Francisco, California, McAuley Adolescent Psychiatric Services provides compassionate and structured mental health treatment for adolescents facing serious emotional and behavioral challenges. The program includes two integrated components: the McAuley Adolescent Inpatient Unit, which delivers short-term acute psychiatric care in a crisis setting, and the McAuley Counseling Enriched Education Program, an outpatient therapeutic and educational initiative operated in partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District and the San Francisco Department of Public Health. This comprehensive model ensures that young individuals receive the support they need to stabilize, recover, and continue their academic and developmental progress.
The program blends individual, group, and family therapy to foster an environment of safety, healing, and personal growth. Treatment focuses on helping adolescents manage crises, improve functioning, and work toward a healthier future. Each care plan is tailored through a multidisciplinary lens, supporting not only the emotional and psychological needs of the adolescent but also engaging families in the recovery process. Regardless of financial circumstances, UCSF Health is committed to providing equitable access to high-quality care. McAuley’s holistic and community-integrated approach makes it a vital resource for adolescents and families navigating complex mental health issues.
