Project PLAY
Peer Leadership Alternatives for Youth
Focusing on providing education on sexual health, we strive to help the youth in the Daly City area.
The Services We Provide
The DCYHC Behavioral Health Counseling Services Department provides individual, family, couples, and group counseling ranging from mild to severe symptom treatment to 150 youth and families a month at DCYHC and JUHSD high schools. Most of our youth are dealing with bullying, reproductive health issues, stress, anxiety, abuse, substance use, truancy, depression, family and relationship conflicts. Oftentimes the youth will come in with their parents or partners to work out their conflicts. Our comprehensive system allows for our clinic’s primary health care providers to seamlessly refer patients to our onsite counselors and can schedule Mental Health consultation.
