Agency Description:
SCTC is a consortium of smaller non-profit community-based agencies dedicated to the service of low-income, predominantly African-American and Latino populations residing in South Los Angeles. Resources, including financial, educational trainings, office space, assessment tools, etc. are combined through the consortium to provide mental health services to clients, as well as multicultural training to graduate level psychology students.
Agency Mission:
The South Central Training Consortium, Inc., is a non-profit organization whose mission is to accomplish four main objectives: 1) to work with families and individuals residing in South Los Angeles and surrounding areas, so that they may live happier and more productive lives; 2) to offer future mental health professionals the opportunity to learn and provide clinical services to this population; 3) to provide mental health services to clients of other non-profit agencies; and 4) to provide clinical field training sites for graduate psychology programs. SCTC is dedicated to culturally appropriate psychological assessment and treatment of diverse, low-income populations, as well as providing culturally relevant training for future mental health professionals interested in the study of this population. SCTC recognizes that residents reside within communities, and that as community services are enhanced, so are the lives of its residents. To this end, SCTC's work includes program development, evaluation and community integration.
