Encompass Community Center is part of Encompass Community Services, a nonprofit organization that has provided health and human services across Santa Cruz County for more than five decades. The organization operates multiple programs focused on behavioral health, substance use recovery, family support, and community wellness, serving thousands of individuals each year through coordinated care and outreach initiatives.
Programs connected to the center include mental health counseling, substance use treatment, youth and family services, and supportive programs designed to address social and emotional needs at different stages of life. Services often combine counseling, case management, recovery support, and community-based resources intended to help individuals stabilize daily living and access ongoing care. Encompass also participates in broader county efforts to expand behavioral health access, including residential and outpatient treatment options and specialized programs for transition-age youth and underserved populations.
As a community-focused provider, Encompass integrates prevention, treatment, and supportive services under one organizational structure. Its programs extend beyond addiction recovery to include early childhood support, housing assistance, and family wellness initiatives, reflecting a comprehensive approach to community health. The Watsonville location operates within this larger network, contributing to regional behavioral health and recovery services available throughout Santa Cruz County.
