The Mental Health Division serves residents of
Tehama County who are experiencing emotional problems, including
depression and anxiety, or more serious illnesses such as schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder. We serve any person in crisis because
of mental health problems, adults with serious and persistent
mental disorders, and children (up to age 18) with serious
emotional disability or who are at risk of not making appropriate
