About CRF Step Forward South
Step Forward South, based in Chula Vista, is a CalWORKs Behavioral Health Center created to support Welfare-to-Work participants who face behavioral health issues that limit their ability to work. The center provides outpatient care, including behavioral health services and psychiatric assessments, medication management, individual, group, and family counseling, case management, care coordination, and crisis support. Step Forward South also prioritizes education and employment-focused programming to help participants and their families build the skills and stability needed to move from welfare toward sustainable, paid work.
As part of the Community Research Foundation, Step Forward South works to eliminate behavioral health obstacles that stand in the way of employment, while addressing the specific circumstances of CalWORKs participants. Supported by the County of San Diego’s Behavioral Health Services, the program is designed to be accessible: it serves Medi-Cal beneficiaries, people eligible for Medi-Cal, and uninsured individuals, and no one is turned away because of inability to pay. Welfare-to-Work Case Managers refer participants to the center, ensuring the services align smoothly with participants’ existing Welfare-to-Work plans.
