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 University Santa Barbara has designed a concentration in Latino Mental Health specifically for students who are bilingual 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 in the 73-unit program which includes concentration courses focusing specifically on Latino clients. Concentration classes include Latino Mental Health, Clinical Skills in the Latino Context, Bilingual Group Therapy, and Interventions with Latino Couples and Families. Please see the Curriculum page for more informaion and specific classes and Plan of Study.
