Aliento Community Service Projects

As part of their academic training(PSY672/673), students complete community engagement and service-learning projects that strengthen their clinical skills while addressing behavioral health needs in local communities. Through Aliento, students collaborate with community partners to support outreach, education, and community-informed initiatives that promote mental health awareness, improve access to services, and strengthen community well-being. Aliento maintains partnerships with community-based organizations, religious institutions, professional associations, educational institutions, and behavioral health providers throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Together, these partnerships support service-learning opportunities that prepare students to work effectively with individuals, couples, families, and communities from a wide range of cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds while helping expand access to high-quality behavioral health services throughout Southern California.
