The Public Mental Health Partnership at UCLA, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, is dedicated to enhancing care for vulnerable populations by integrating marginalized perspectives and promoting health equity. Their focus includes training and technical assistance for programs addressing chronic homelessness and serious mental illness, specifically through Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) and Full Service Partnerships (FSP).

Offering a variety of training programs, the partnership emphasizes Enhanced Illness Management and Recovery (EIMR) and provides resources for professionals in the field, including learning communities for psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and case managers. Recent training topics cover a range of critical issues, including trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and supporting diverse populations, all aimed at improving the quality of mental health services in Los Angeles County.
