Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services

The first non-profit outpatient mental health clinic in Los Angeles County, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services was founded to help adults cope with the effects of the Great Depression. Over the years, we have evolved in response to the needs of our increasingly complex community. Through the leadership and generosity of Didi and I. Kingdon Hirsch, in 1974 we became one of the first federally approved community mental health centers in greater Los Angeles. With this designation came a commitment to offer community education, clinic-based treatment and residential care to people of all ages. We subsequently were renamed to honor Didi Hirsch?s leadership in this expansion. Mission: Didi Hirsch transforms lives by providing quality mental health, substance use and suicide prevention services in communities where stigma or poverty limits access
