Consejo Counseling and Referral Services
Consejo Counseling and Referral Service is one of the largest behavioral health agencies in Washington State.
Their bilingual and bicultural staff provides culturally-competent services designed to enhance client strengths and address the diverse needs of adults, children, adolescents and families in Latino communities across the State of Washington.
Consejo’s Mission is to provide a continuum of behavioral health, substance abuse and domestic violence services including prevention, treatment and housing to individuals and families across Washington utilizing an interdependent treatment model so clients experience acceptance, emotional security and developmental growth while learning new skills to improve the quality of their lives. Consejo’s service delivery empowers clients to participate in their communities at their highest level of functioning.
Consejo Counseling and Referral Service is the most prominent mental health agency providing a comprehensive array of social services to Latino individuals and families across Washington State. Consejo is very pleased that in June of 2004, our Behavioral Health Services Division and Substance Abuse and Chemical Dependency Division both met the stringent requirements of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF certifies human service providers who meet their high standards of excellence. For Consejo, the organizational capacity required to meet the rigorous CARF guidelines confirms our agency remains steadfast in its commitment to the Latino community by focusing on client satisfaction and continually enhancing the quality of our services and programs. This perseverance and dedication has resulted in the honor of CARF international accreditation.
Programs include Behavioral Health, Domestic Violence Program, Substance Abuse, Youth, HIV AIDS, and Housing.
Facilities
Villa Esperanza
Owned and operated by Consejo Counseling and Referral Service, Villa Esperanza (Villa of Hope) is a 23 unit newly constructed two- and three-bedroom apartment complex providing transitional housing for homeless Latina survivors of domestic violence and their children.
South Park Youth Service Center
At the behest of Mayor Greg Nickels and the Seattle City Council, Consejo developed Desarrollo Juvenil Latino in Seattle’s South Park. This program specifically addresses the problem of Latino gang violence in the area and formulates a constructive response to the untimely and tragic death of a young Latino who was not involved in gangs but accidentally killed by gang violence.
Kent Service Center
In an effort to increase accessibility and expand our services, Consejo has partnered with The Alliance Center, a coalition of agencies working under one roof to meet the needs of South King County Residents. This strategic location increases the topographic reach of Consejo services to 12 satellite sites in 6 counties. Consejo’s Kent Service Center provides linkage to all Consejo programming including Children and Family Services; Outpatient Mental Health Treatment; Psychiatric Care; individual, group and family therapy; a range of affinity support groups; Domestic Violence Services including Sexual Assault Services and Crime Victim Services; and Effective Parenting Classes. We are proud to have now become a more distinct presence in behavioral health service provision to residents of Kent and areas nearby.
Tri-Cities and Walla Walla
The Domestic Violence Program in Eastern Washington is expanding with two new offices; one in Tri-Cities and a second office in Walla Walla. This is possible thanks to a grant from the Office of Crime Victim Advocates (OCVA). Because our Granger office receives so many calls from all over Eastern Washington, it has been impossible to meet the demand for services. Consejo is extremely pleased we now have three domestic violence service centers in two more cities east of the mountains.
