Provide a brief demographic and/or diagnostically descriptive statement about the population your program serves:
IMCES provides culturally and linguistically sensitive mental health services to all the diverse individuals and families in Los Angeles County. IMCES provides various programs for children, youth, and adults based on the proven success of integrative, coordinated services. IMCES services range from prevention and early intervention to services for the severely mentally ill populations.
Clinicians work primarily with low to mid-SES clients, in the office, home, field, or school. Demographics of the populations served include both genders and all ages with a wide range of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds (Hispanic, African-American, Russian, Armenian, Persian), and sexual orientation. Psychoeducational groups include domestic violence (perpetrators and victims), anger management, and parenting.
