City of Temecula Partners with Care Solace to Provide Residents Free Mental Health Navigation

Mental health challenges and substance abuse are issues of concern across the country. Seeking help should not be complicated; this is why Temecula's City Council is pleased to announce a new partnership with Care Solace, a leading provider of mental health and substance use disorder support services. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the City's ongoing commitment to improving the well-being and mental health of our community.

Beginning WED, JUL 24, 2024, all residents of the City of Temecula, and those facing homelessness in our community, will have access to Care Solace's comprehensive mental health, substance use disorder, and social services resources at no cost. This service, which is available to all residents (regardless of insurance status or income level), helps those in need to navigate the process of seeking care and offers support along the way.

Temecula Mayor James "Stew" Stewart states, "Many in our community may be familiar with Care Solace services available through Temecula Valley Unified School District. The City is proud to broaden access to these invaluable services so that all Temecula residents can readily find resources and support anytime they need it."

As unanimously approved by the Temecula City Council, Council Member Jessica Alexander reflected on the effort to offer Care Solace services citywide, "From the first time I learned about Care Solace services, I recognized its potential as a vital resource for families and individuals who may find themselves in difficult situations. Care Solace acts as a crucial bridge to potentially lifesaving assistance, whether it involves mental health care, help with substance use, or other types of social service needs."

Founder and CEO of Care Solace Chad Castruita commented, "Temecula residents deserve quick access to care, and we're here to support them every step of the way. We'll make the calls and find the help they need. We are proud to stand alongside the City of Temecula in prioritizing the well-being of its community."
