Beginning June 1st, AEGIS Treatment Centers will officially begin services in the parking lot of the HHSA building located at 509 E. Saint Charles Street, San Andreas, CA. 🚐

AEGIS provides mobile medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services for individuals struggling with opioid addiction, including he**in, fentanyl, prescription pain medications, and more. Services include Methadone and Suboxone treatment, telehealth counseling, recovery support, and connections to additional social services. Walk-ins are welcome, and Medi-Cal is accepted.

This mobile unit helps bring treatment directly into the community, reducing barriers to care and increasing access to support for those seeking recovery.

Recovery support is getting a little closer to home. 💙

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors officially proclaimed May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Calaveras County. 💚

Behavioral health impacts every family, every workplace, every school, and every community. This month serves as a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health and that hope, recovery, and support matter.

We are grateful for the continued partnership of our community members, providers, county departments, schools, first responders, and advocates who work every day to support the wellbeing of Calaveras County residents.

A special thank you to the Board of Supervisors for recognizing the importance of mental health awareness and helping reduce stigma through education, compassion, and conversation.

Together, we continue building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community. 💚

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the Board of Supervisors proclaimed May 2026 as National Mental Health Awareness Month in Calaveras County.

The Calaveras County Behavioral Health Peer Wellness Center continues to create spaces where individuals can find support, reduce isolation, build relationships, and simply know they are not alone.

This month’s activities are about more than events on a calendar they are opportunities for connection, laughter, creativity, wellness, recovery, and hope. Whether someone is taking their first step toward support or continuing their journey, there is a place for them here.

A huge thank you to our Peer team and everyone behind the scenes who help make these programs possible each day. Peer support changes lives because it comes from lived experience, compassion, and understanding.

Please help us share and continue breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. You never know who may need to see this today.

Big things are rolling into our community- literally 🚐

We had the opportunity to be part of the ribbon cutting for the Aegis Mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment Unit through Aegis Treatment Centers, LLC. and it’s something worth paying attention to.

This mobile unit brings treatment directly to people; meeting individuals where they are, reducing barriers, and creating safer, more accessible pathways to recovery.

Because recovery shouldn’t depend on transportation, timing, or circumstance.

It was powerful to see so many people come together in support of a service that prioritizes dignity, access, and real-life solutions.

We’re grateful to see resources like this expanding in our region and to be part of the conversation around care that actually reaches people.

We recognize that recent events in our schools and community may be weighing heavily on many especially our youth and families.

Grief can affect us in many ways whether a loss is expected or unexpected, whether it involves someone young or someone older. However you may be feeling right now, your feelings are valid, and you do not have to go through this alone.

As we move through this weekend, it’s especially important that we take care of one another, check in, stay connected, and reach out if you need support.

Calaveras County Behavioral Health services are available today, including crisis response support.

Parents and caregivers this is a good time to gently check in with your kids, even if it’s just to listen.

We will continue to stand alongside our schools and community, offering support and care during difficult moments.

Some days remind you exactly why this work matters 💛

We had a blast bringing the giant bubbles and we are so grateful to have been part of the 2026 Calaveras Children’s Fair-even with the last-minute location change and wild weather, our community showed up in the best way!

✨ 260 kids
✨ 240 adults
✨ Families from across Calaveras (and even neighboring counties!)

One of the sweetest things? So many families stayed the entire time-connecting, playing, learning, and just being together. That kind of presence says everything.

We loved getting to meet so many of you, share resources, and be part of a day that was clearly felt across the whole community.

Huge thank you to The Resource Connection Child Care Resource & Referral Services and The Calaveras Child Care Council for pulling off such a meaningful event!

If you stopped by to see us-thank you. If you missed it, we’ll catch you next time! 😉

*out of respect for privacy, we weren’t able to share many photos but this one shows one of our own showing some kids the “ropes”.

Across the state, county behavioral health meets people where they are and maintains its dedication to doing whatever it takes to strengthen the safety net — improving access, support, and outcomes for the people who need it most.

Too often, people living with serious mental illness and substance use disorder struggle to access the care they need. That's why California has a safety net that coordinates across many different systems. At the center of this safety net is county behavioral health — which operates as an insuranc...

Aegis Treatment Center is bringing their Mobile Unit to Calaveras County.

For a rural county like ours, this matters. It means services coming directly to our communities, reducing barriers, and making it easier for people to access support when and where they need it.

There will be Mobile Unit Open House so you can come see it firsthand, meet the Aegis team, and learn more about how medication-assisted treatment and substance use services are expanding locally.

We hope to see you there. 💛
