Program Description

Mission

HealthRIGHT 360 gives hope, builds health, and changes lives for people in need. We do this by providing compassionate, integrated care that includes primary medical, mental health, substance use disorder treatment and re-entry services.

History

HealthRIGHT 360 was founded in 2011 with the merger of Haight Ashbury Medical Clinic and Walden House. The organizations merged on July 1, 2011 to best serve the most vulnerable members of our community. On July 1, 2012, Haight Ashbury Medical Clinics – Walden House adopted a new name: HealthRIGHT 360.

Between 2013 and 2017 HealthRIGHT360 (HR360) continued to grow, merging with organizations throughout California, whose mission and services aligned with HR360’s. HR360 provides services throughout California, currently serving thousands of individuals annually in
10 counties (not including jails). The agency serves culturally diverse individuals of all ages, including youth, young adults, and adults.

Program Goals

The aim of the internship program is to prepare interns to effectively deliver psychological services in community mental health settings, addressing the needs of marginalized populations. Interns will gain experience working with individuals who often face co-occurring disorders, homelessness, and involvement in the criminal justice system. They will develop the skills needed to serve diverse, underserved communities through training in evidence-based interventions, trauma-informed care, and cultural competency. Over the course of the training year, interns will conduct at least four comprehensive psychological assessment batteries, facilitate individual and group therapy, and strengthen their diagnostic, clinical, and case formulation skills.

Training Sites

All Interns complete the Main Rotation at Adult Outpatient Services. Interns also select minor rotations and can choose 1 to last the entire year or 2 for 6 months each. For example, interns may choose to do a yearlong minor rotation at one of our residential programs focusing on a particular client population such as women with children or may chose 2 six-month minor rotations focusing on inpatient and outpatient populations. Interns will spend two days per week at their minor rotation site providing clinical services, care coordination and receiving onsite training.

Through our rotation sites, interns have the opportunity to build and enhance their clinical skills by working with a diverse range of mental health conditions and a variety of clients. They gain experience working with different therapeutic approaches across multiple community settings and levels of care. Rotations will be determined during orientation based on preferences and availability, with final assignments made by the Training Director.
