Experiences of providing nontraditional community mental health services in urban Los Angeles: A pilot study. - 311 p.

Adviser: Beth Houskamp.

Thesis (Psy.D.)--Azusa Pacific University, 2009.

Community mental health centers (CMHCs) in urban poor neighborhoods have been under-examined in today's psychological research as potential models of success for serving low-income ethnic minority populations. In response, this study sought to answer the following question: What are the subjective experiences and perceived strengths of an exemplar community mental health agency---especially in terms of achieving clinical efficacy through factors such as cultural competency, systemic-oriented practices, or any unique, nontraditional approaches? Consequently, a pilot study was conducted to specifically highlight the positive experiences of one community mental health grassroots organization in an urban poor area of Los Angeles---the South Central Training Consortium (SCTC). Using a qualitative method based on culturally anchored research (Hughes & Dumont, 2002), a focus group was conducted, composed of a cross-section of the agency's providers, including clinical practitioners, supervisors, and its founder. The data reveals nontraditional, innovative approaches in serving marginalized people groups, including perceived strengths in cultural competency and utilizing a systems orientation. Challenges for SCTC are also identified. Furthermore, the methodology and results of this pilot study are examined and critiqued for further, expanded research in this area---specifically to locate differences and similarities among multiple CMHCs' effective practices.
