UCLA Child & Youth Behavioral Health Center of Excellence

The UCLA Child & Youth Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (COE) provides workforce development, through evidence-based trainings, consultation, and coaching, designed to improve community mental health and wellbeing. It harnesses extensive expertise from the Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, as well as other campus-wide partnerships. The center is committed to transforming prevention services through online and in person professional development. Its offerings aim to enhance the wellbeing of all of Los Angeles County and support systems of care that are both trauma and resilience informed.
