Community Counseling Clinic (CCC) at 缅北禁地

The Community Counseling Clinic (CCC) is a nonprofit, no-cost training facility that offers mental health supports and assessments to San Francisco Bay Area communities. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (2019), 1 in 5 adults live with a mental illness, 1 in 25 adults experience serious mental illness, and 17% of youth (age 6-17%) experience a mental health disorder. Estimates suggest that about half receive treatment. The CCC provides a variety of therapeutic and psychoeducational services often in multiple languages for diverse populations to address anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, parenting challenges, or relational difficulties. Many of our clients are underserved, low-income, unemployed, uninsured, without medi-cal, undocumented citizens often afraid of deportation, and struggling individuals, children, and families requiring essential mental health and relational supports for school and life success.

Graduate trainees in the School Psychology and School Counseling programs provide counseling services and assessments to clients. Trainees are supervised by Educational Psychology Department faculty and clinical supervisors. Counseling and assessment sessions are video-recorded and reviewed by clinical teams to provide professional clinical feedback and learning for trainees. Counselor trainees volunteer about 1.5 days and see 1-3 clients weekly in the CCC. All trainees are required to be members of the CA Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).

We are currenly offering counseling services though telemental health. We hope to offer in-person services again in the near future.

The Social Justice League (SJL) is a student organization that is supported by the Department of Educational Psychology and recognized by CSUEB. SJL was created in 2011 by students in the School Psychology and School Counseling Programs. The SJL's mission is to promote and advocate for diversity and equality for underserved populations. We are committed to fighting social injustices, promoting awareness about social issues, and providing resources and support to underprivileged communities. Each semester, SJL participates in and sponsors various activities, on and off campus, to support the community (e.g., fundraising, school adoptions, mental health awareness) as a way to give back, empower, and educate those without voices.
