The Community Mental Health Training Consortium is a consortium of community mental health agencies in Alameda County. We are an APA-approved continuing education sponsor and provide high-quality, low-cost continuing education for psychologists and master’s level mental health therapists. Our training events focus on a variety of topics related to treating children and families in community mental health settings. Partner agencies in the consortium are Alameda County Family Court Services, City of Fremont Youth and Family Services,  Family Service Counseling Center of San Leandro, Girls Incorporated of Alameda County, and Hayward Police Department Youth and Family Services. We typically deliver three training events each year.
