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.
