Overview

The Community Mental Health program from California Institute of Integral Studies is offered in an online hybrid format. Students receive asynchronous online lectures, readings, and engagement on a weekly basis. Each semester, students are required to attend five in-person, full-weekend immersions.

During the weekend immersions, students take in-person classes at CIIS with their cohort, allowing for deep and enriching relationships to form between students and with faculty.

During the first year, students develop a theoretical foundation and engage in clinical coursework. In the second year, students enter a clinical practicum while continuing to take required courses. The program concludes with an integrative project in the final semester.

Personal Psychotherapy Requirement

During practicum placement, students are required to complete 50 hours of personal psychotherapy with a licensed mental health professional.
