The Mental Health Walk-In Assessment Center (WIAC) serves adults and older adults, who are experiencing a mental health crisis or urgent need for mental health services.  The WIAC is a County of San Diego Behavioral Health contracted program, funded through the Mental Health Services Act.  Services are targeted to individuals with Medi-Cal and those who are medically indigent.

The goals of the program are to provide short-term mental health services to adults:

• who are in need of crisis intervention services
• who might otherwise present at emergency rooms for mental health services
• who are waiting to connect to ongoing County Mental Health programs

Services include:

• Assessment
• Crisis intervention
• Medication evaluation
• Short-term case management
• Linkage to community resources
