Join us on Friday, February 16 at the Presidio Yacht Club to dance the night away! Bring your friends, family, partner, coworker, or anyone you’d like for a fun evening of 80’s music by the band The 85’s. We’ll be celebrating and fundraising for a great cause — mental health services for those in financial need.

BACC has been providing low-fee therapy since 2011 to hundreds of clients. There are so many people in need of therapy and it’s hard to find someone when you don’t have the financial means, especially when having needs for expertise in areas of family therapy, ADHD treatment, couples therapy, anxiety and OCD treatment, therapy for children and teens, treatment for depression, and several other issues. We provide services in Marin, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Alameda, Sonoma, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, and throughout the state of California via Zoom and in-person.

We also have our Family Institute of Berkeley, which is part of BACC and provides services through BACC, as well as providing training for clinicians in family therapy, using the “one way mirror” approach with a team helping a family. This is done via Zoom, so that clinicians throughout the U.S. and world can attend training sessions and develop their skills working systemically with families and couples.

BACC is raising funds to be able to provide more services to those in need. Currently, BACC provides therapy on a sliding scale, as well as those who qualify for Victim’s Compensation. With donations, we’ll be able to provide services to more clients at a lower rate, as well as contract with other counties and other insurance plans to provide more services to children, families, couples, and adults in financial need. Donations also enable us to train the next generation of therapists in effective, evidence-based treatments to best help our clients.
