Community Mental Health

The Community Mental Health program provides psychiatric assessment and treatment, consultation, and rehabilitation/case management. A multidisciplinary team of clinicians and psychiatrists provide the mental health care. As the program is accessible to those primarily marginalized by language, race and culture, language specific services are available to the Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking communities. Interpreter services are available for other language groups. The program has a strong teaching component and offers training to residents and students of various professional disciplines.
