SEIU 721 members are part of the movement to transform mental health services to create a client-centered and family-focused way of supporting hope, wellness and recovery in the lives of people affected by mental illness.
“Coming together to create a shared vision of mental health transformation and then working together as a community is the only way to make this happen.”
Patrick Del Conte
Integrated Services Program Manager, L.A. County Department of Mental Health
