Mental Health in San Jose

San Jose is a rapidly growing, highly diverse city with large populations of Asian and Hispanic residents, a large percentage of residents under the age of 18, tens of thousands of foreign-born residents2 and well over 30,000 armed forces veterans.3 The city's diversity creates a cultural melting pot with many languages, traditions, and beliefs. As a result, mental health practitioners in the city take a multicultural approach in order to deliver culturally competent care to their clients.

Elderly individuals who require support and assistance in order to live independently can find many services available through On Lok Lifeways.

Recreational programs, such as art classes, help seniors exercise their mind and provide them with an opportunity to interact with friends. Mental health services provide emotional and social support. For additional information about On Lok's services, please call 415-292-8888.4
