Abstract:
The Community-University Health Care Center represents a joint academic and community enterprise. The mission of the center's multidisciplinary, multicultural staff is to provide individuals, who live below the federal poverty line and have inadequate or no health insurance, with accessible, affordable, high-quality, and culturally appropriate health care. The center's mental health division offers a full complement of outpatient services, including psychotherapy, medication management, psychological assessment, case management, day treatment for adults with serious mental illness, and youth support groups to prevent substance abuse and violence. All of these services are offered in Hmong, Lao, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Somali, and Spanish, as well as English. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
