  • Diversity in Action

    We are committed to providing a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment for our faculty, staff, trainees, students, and, most importantly, the patients we serve. Efforts include a commitment to racial justice through health equity research, evaluation of our recruitment and retention strategies and integrated cultural psychiatry training.

  • Community Involvement

    Our location in the capitol affords us the opportunity to be involved in providing mental health services for programs at the county and state levels as well as in the local Sacramento community. These programs serve an economically and ethnically diverse patient population, including underserved and homeless patient populations.
