The Yolo County Mental Health Services department is a good starting point for individuals looking for a variety of kinds of help. This website provides links to programs for children, teens, and adults dealing with issues as diverse as abuse, mental illness, emotional or relationship difficulties, and alcohol or drug abuse.

NAMI-Yolo is a grassroots program of education, advocacy and support dedicated to improving the lives of people with psychiatric brain disorders including clinical depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.  As chapters of NAMI (The National Alliance on Mental Illness), our parent organization located in Arlington, Virginia and NAMI-California, we offer educational and support programs and vital information about local mental health resources.  NAMI's philosophy is to view the family in its entirety.  Persons challenged by psychiatric disorders are an essential part of our organization. We advocate, educate and learn together.

First 5 Yolo is dedicated to serving the needs of Yolo County’s youngest residents. They fund a number of programs across the county as well as work to identify and raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing our increasingly diverse community of children, ages 0-5, and their families. Supporting, promoting and coordinating services to benefit that population is at the heart of their work. Their mission statement states: First 5 Yolo will assist our community to raise children who are healthy and ready to learn. We will assure that our resources are effectively used and all community voices heard.
