Clinic Spotlight #1

Joyce Chu, Ph.D.

Director, Diversity and Community Mental Health Proficiency Track

The Diversity and Community Mental Health (DCMH) proficiency track at PAU provides students the opportunity to develop competency in the provision of psychological services within the public mental health sector through a combination of coursework, research, and clinical training. Community mental health involves a perspective of care that addresses challenges on both an individual and systemic level, and revolves around philosophies of wellness, recovery and consultation. CMH services are often atypical of traditional clinical psychology training; community mental health care involves the consumer and family members, and is integrated with the community in collaborative interdisciplinary teams.
