DMH and Community Partners have chosen DFYL through Transforming LA

DMH and Community Partners have chosen DFYL through Transforming LA Through Partnership Initiative to work with underserved communities in SA4 with both our programs. – The LA County Department of Mental Health serves a quarter of a million patients, the largest in the nation. For nonprofits that lack infrastructure but provide impactful mental health services along with maintaining strong and authentic connections with their communities, the process for acquiring contracts to help serve LACDMH’s patients can seem almost impossible. “Working and contracting with government agencies is very difficult,” said LACDMH Director of Mental Health Jonathan Sherin, M.D., PhD. “This initiative’s main focus is to serve grassroots organizations who know their communities best to get things done.”
