The Asian Pacific Counseling & Treatment Centers (APCTC) announced the opening of a new mental health outpatient center in Temple City, California, expanding community care resources in the San Gabriel Valley and assisting vulnerable and underserved residents and families to more easily access mental health services that are tailored to their cultural background and needs .
APCTC is part of Special Service for Groups, Inc. (SSG), a community service organization. The newly established Temple City Downtown is a community-based service center that aims to bring mental health care closer to residents' daily lives and reduce the distance and resource barriers faced by individuals and families in need when seeking assistance.
The construction of this new center was supported by California state government resources and implemented through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) promoted by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), with Advocates for Human Potential (AHP) serving as the funding partner. This demonstrates how California's investment in behavioral health infrastructure can be translated into accessible care services for local communities.
According to the event announcement released by APCTC, the new center was originally scheduled to hold an opening ribbon-cutting ceremony and press conference at 9:30 a.m. on October 23. The announced speakers included Congresswoman Judy Chu, California Congressman Mike Fong, SSG CEO Herb Hatanaka, Temple City Mayor William Man, El Monte City Manager Alma Martinez, Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Director Lisa H. Wong, and APCTC/SSG Director Sheila Wu.
The new center is located at 4978 Santa Anita Ave., Temple City, CA 91780. According to the event plan, in addition to speeches by officials and agency representatives, ribbon-cutting, and media interviews, the opening day will also include guided tours of the center to allow the public to further understand the new facilities and their service positioning.
Currently, APCTC's service locations cover not only Temple City, but also Alhambra, the San Fernando Valley, Cerritos, West Covina, and Riverside. With the addition of the new Temple City center, APCTC will further strengthen its community mental health service network in Southern California, providing more local care options for residents and families in need.
