ABOUT LA COCINA
La Cocina is a multilingual incubator for healing-centered mental health care, combining community-led clinical excellence with evidence-based practices, community organizing, and social justice values. We are a healing justice “clinic” where multilingual clinicians, advocates, community-based organization (CBO) leaders and teams grow alongside community partners. At La Cocina, every program, supervision structure, and service is designed to meet urgent community needs and to prepare the next generation of community-based providers, advocates and trainees to lead with cultural humility, compassion, and liberatory practice.
THE OPPORTUNITY
