Child Psychiatry Residents Training
Through a long-standing affiliation with the University
of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Division
of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Clinic provides on-site
psychiatry training in the diagnosis and treatment of children
ages five and younger. This is a unique program within
Los Angeles County, which extends the impact of the Clinic’s
expertise in early intervention and community wellness. Medical
residents learn about early identification and treatment
of mental health problems in very young children, including
training in both outpatient and day treatment services within
a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and service delivery.

Psychology Intern Program
The Clinic’s Psychology Internship Program, which
provides training to doctoral students from schools throughout
the State, is also a California Psychology Internship Council
training site. Four students per year participate in
a nine-month program of intensive supervision, didactic seminars,
and direct service to clients and families.
Life Learning Program Our Life Learning Program aims to equip adolescents and young adults, ages 15 to 25, and who have significant mental health problems, with essential skills and experiences to transition successfully to independent community life. Vocational education, employment services, rehabilitation, case management, and medication services are blended to provide a wide range of needed services. We assist young adults in obtaining positive peer relationships, stable housing, higher education, job opportunities, and access to other community resources. Special weekend and evening recreational and cultural enrichment activities are organized to engage these young adults and expose them to opportunities outside their daily life experiences. The Clinic partners with the State Department of Rehabilitation and the County Department of Mental Health Cooperative Program to provide this life skills training, which is nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). |
