Building Stability, Uplifting Lives: How BACS Supports Behavioral Health

December 19, 2024

Donnie got a first-hand look at how BACS supports behavioral health. Donnie’s family was worried about him – he disappeared while experiencing mania and psychosis. BACS found him in the hospital,
provided crisis mental health care, then worked on long-term wellness.

Donnie said, “With BACS’ help, I can see warning signs and take care of myself before things escalate.”

At BACS, we support individuals at every level of their behavioral health journey, providing care and resources needed to build strong neighborhoods where everyone is healthy.

Together, we can break the cycle of mental health challenges and build resilient, thriving neighborhoods.

With your help, BACS can change the community for the better. Why is now the time to be hopeful?

  • Homelessness in Alameda County is DOWN for the first time in 10 years!
  • BACS moved more than 3,000 people from homelessness to permanent housing.
  • BACS is bridging the gap between mental health care and housing stability, serving thousands each year.

This holiday season, help BACS help our community. Matching gifts through NYE – help us meet the match!
