The demand for bilingual mental health professionals in southern California has grown as our population demographics have changed. To meet this need in our community Antioch has designed a concentration specifically for students who are bilingual and bicultural that provides specialized training in working with Latino individuals and their families.

Students take all of the courses required for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist including several courses focused specifically on Latino clients.
