Why Are We Here?

On May 29, 2018, the LA County Board of Supervisors directed the

Chief Executive Office and the Department of Mental Health in

consultation with the Auditor Controller (A-C), the Center for

Strategic Partnerships (CSP) and a cross-section of stakeholder

organizations to develop recommendations for establishing

a Community Based Mental Health Incubation Academy.

Transforming LA Through Partnership: An Approach to Community Well-Being

This is an effort designed to provide mentorship, training,

and technical assistance to small and mid-sized grassroots

CBOs that are interested in providing preventive services

to the County’s most vulnerable residents.
