About CRF Step Forward North Coastal
Step Forward North Coastal, based in Oceanside, is a CalWORKs Behavioral Health Center created to support Welfare-to-Work participants whose behavioral health needs interfere with their ability to work. The center provides outpatient care, including behavioral health and psychiatric assessments, medication management, individual, group, and family counseling, case management, coordination of services, and crisis support. Step Forward also focuses heavily on education and employment-related programming to help individuals and families move toward self-sufficiency as they transition from welfare to stable jobs. As part of the Community Research Foundation, Step Forward North Coastal works to reduce behavioral health obstacles to employment and to meet the specific requirements of CalWORKs participants. Supported by the County of San Diego’s Behavioral Health Services, the program is designed to be accessible for people covered by Medi-Cal, those eligible for Medi-Cal, and those without insurance, with services provided regardless of ability to pay. Welfare-to-Work Case Managers guide referrals to the program, helping participants connect smoothly with the services outlined in their existing Welfare-to-Work plans.
