Communities partnering together to implement evidence based depression care.

Join Us in Beating Depression.

Many people suffer from depression. By depression we mean a period of weeks, months, or years of feeling sad, blue, or experiencing loss of interest in enjoyable activities and having other problems, like difficulty concentrating or low energy. Depression is an illness that can be treated. Communities need more options to treat depression and these options should be tailored to the needs of each community. Our CPIC model proved successful for the communities of South Los Angeles and Hollywood/Metro LA.
