Student Professional Development Program

The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) Student Professional Development Program involves a training partnership with accredited professional schools that places students in a wide variety of clinical and administrative settings. In addition to the learning that occurs while in their professional placement, students have opportunities to participate in a wide variety of trainings. Stipends may be available to students who intend to be employed after graduation in the Los Angeles County public mental health system. As a result of their placement within LACDMH, many students have become permanent employees or one of its contract providers. For more information about the program, contact us at (213) 251-6870.
