Three Years of Expanding Mental Health Access in Sonoma Valley
For the past three years, Hanna Center has been growing mental health services across Sonoma Valley—supporting youth, families, and individuals through care that is accessible, community-based, and grounded in real outcomes.
This May, we’re bringing our community together to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month and reflect on three years of expanding care across Sonoma Valley. Through events, a new community mental health survey in partnership with Sonoma Valley Community Health Center, and ongoing services for youth, families, and individuals, we’re continuing to respond to the growing need for support. There are many ways to be part of this work—by showing up, seeking support, or helping expand access to care.
Mental health challenges are rising—especially among young people—while access to care continues to lag behind.
1 in 3 young adults (ages 18–25) experiences a mental health condition each year
More than half of those who need mental health care never receive it
14.2% of adults in Sonoma County report frequent mental distress
In Sonoma Valley, these challenges are not abstract—they’re affecting our students, families, and neighbors every day.
Since opening the Mental Health Hub, Hanna Center has expanded access to care across the region—serving more individuals, deepening services, and reaching communities that have historically faced barriers to support.

These numbers represent more than services—they represent lives changed, families supported, and a stronger, healthier community.
Your support helps expand access to mental health care across Sonoma Valley.
Over the past three years, Hanna Center has expanded both the reach and depth of its mental health services. With the support of new funding—including a Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) grant—we have grown from a single hub into a more comprehensive system of care.
Today, our services span two dedicated spaces on campus:
Focused on early intervention and youth mental health, including support for individuals experiencing early psychosis.
Providing therapy for individuals, families, and couples, with a focus on long-term healing and resilience.
This expansion allows us to serve more people, earlier—and with more specialized care.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Hanna Center has expanded school-based mental health services across Sonoma Valley Unified School District—bringing care directly into classrooms and campuses. These services reduce barriers, provide early intervention, and ensure that students receive support where they are.

Hanna Ahead is an innovative early intervention program supporting youth ages 12–25 experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
With bilingual, culturally responsive care and county-wide access, the program connects young people and families with the support they need—when it matters most.
Research and evaluation are central to our work. By tracking outcomes and continuously refining our approach, we ensure that our services are effective, accessible, and responsive to community needs.
Our research results reflect a mixed-methods evaluation of Hanna Center’s Mental Health Hub American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) School Program, drawing from both quantitative service data and qualitative analysis of clinician discharge summaries. By integrating these data sources, we are able to capture both measurable outcomes and the lived experiences of youth receiving care.
