Current Partnerships & Internship Opportunities

Our program holds a strong commitment to supporting the mental health needs of our local community. We achieve that not only through the education of our students, but also through both our on-campus Counseling & Diagnostic Service Center (CCDS) and valuable community partnerships. While the list is constantly growing, we would like to highlight some of the key partnerships we have with mental health programs in northern California.
