Health, Education, Social Services

La Cheim is an education and mental health nonprofit with a five-decade track record of making high-quality services available to vulnerable youth and adults in the greater Bay Area of California. La Cheim serves more than 500 marginalized adults and children annually. We maintain an array of individual treatment and educational programs, with a unifying goal of engaging those we serve authentically, providing effective interventions, and establishing community and family alliances to support growth and future success.

Our aim as an agency is to assure increased accessibility and availability of high-quality mental health and educational services to vulnerable populations in our surrounding communities by dismantling health and social inequities while strengthening community partnerships and collaborations. We strive to do our part in transforming the landscape of care to be more inclusive, equitable, and effective for those in need.
