Alpha Behavioral Health Services (AlphaBHS) is a nonprofit social service agency that was founded in 1971 by volunteers from churches in Mid-City to provide counseling to homeless and substance abusing youth. Today AlphaBHS operates out of the North Park Resource Center and provides a wide range of behavioral health counseling services and financial literacy training, in English and Spanish, serving approximately 450 clients annually. Counseling fees are offered on a sliding scale fee; over 90% of clients pay on the lowest end of the scale, and no client is turned away due to inability to pay.

The greatest demands for counseling are anger management (21%), depression (21%) adolescent/youth (14%), and domestic violence (9%); however ABHS provides a wide variety of other behavioral health services including, substance abuse, marriage counseling, child sexual assault, chronic disease, and grief management. ABHS offers a five-week, ten-hour court- approved Child Welfare Services (CWS) certified anger management class and a ten-week, ten-hour court-approved CWS parenting class. In addition, ABHS provides contracted child counseling services to three schools: Nazareth Elementary, Sacred Heart Catholic School and the Chabat School.
