As a leader in integrated primary care and behavioral health, VHT provides patient-centered services with a strong emphasis on addressing social determinants of health and meeting the needs of diverse populations, including migrant and seasonal farmworkers. VHT offers robust behavioral health services—including two school-based health centers in the Kerman Unified School District—where clinicians and trainees collaborate with primary care providers, educators, and case managers to deliver trauma-informed assessment, intervention, crisis response, and care coordination for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Through this partnership, our trainees gain hands-on experience in integrated care, psychological evaluation, individual and family therapy, substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment, interprofessional consultation, and community outreach within high-need Central Valley communities.
