Pursuing a vision where every youth belongs, chooses the support they need and thrives, allcove is developing an innovative network of integrated youth mental health centers designed with, by and for youth that reduce stigma, embrace mental wellness, increase community connection and provide access to culturally responsive services. allcove centers serve as a safe place, anchored in a model of care that considers the holistic needs of young people between the ages of 12 and 25.

The center is the result of a collaboration between the Stanford Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing, the State of California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) and Beach Cities Health District (BCHD).

allcove Beach Cities opened Nov. 1, 2022, in a temporary location on the Beach Cities Health District Campus in Redondo Beach, offering mental and physical health services, education and employment assistance, peer and family support, and substance use prevention programs for young people in the greater South Bay. The centerpiece of the allcove center is “the cove,” a common area where young people can hang out with friends, participate in wellness activities, arts and crafts, games, movie nights, open mic nights, meditation and more.

The new, permanent location for allcove Beach Cities will be at 1272 Beryl Street in Redondo Beach, at the southwest corner of Beryl Street and Flagler Lane and is part BCHD’s Healthy Living Campus master plan. The 9,400 square foot, two-story allcove center will be the first building constructed as part of the Campus revitalization, designed by Paul Murdoch Architects of Los Angeles.
