Dr. Linder's Early Childhood Clinic

In San Diego County’s most vulnerable communities, individuals seeking mental health
services for their young children often deal with long waitlists caused by a lack
of early childhood therapists. Into those voids stepped Dr. Lisa Linder, assistant professor in CFD. Supported by philanthropic funding, Linder was able
to open an Early Childhood Mental Health Clinic last fall. Operating out of the Dede
Alpert Center for Community Engagement in the City Heights neighborhood, the center
has helped meet the community’s need for mental health services for families and children
from pre-natal to 8-years-old.
