Agency Biography

WestCoast Children’s Clinic is a nonprofit outpatient community mental health clinic serving Bay Area children, youth, families, and caregivers since 1979. WestCoast provides services through four programs that range from short-term to sustained services over many years. Our mission is threefold: 1) to provide psychological services to vulnerable children, adolescents, and their families regardless of their ability to pay; to positively influence the larger community by training the next generation of providers of mental health services; and 3) to provide research and advocacy for vulnerable children. To that end, we ensure that our Training Programs bring learning opportunities that encourage positive wellbeing, empowerment, and exceptional care and services for all individuals seeking services.
