Training
MHA Village has been providing training as a part of Mental Health America of Los Angeles’ Training and Workforce Development Department for over 13 years. Our trainers are staff and administrators currently working in the mental health services and advocacy fields. Our reputation for knowledgeable, dynamic trainers and relevant, useful training content has allowed us to build a strong training business which supports other MHA programs and continues the transformation of the mental health system.
We are best known for our MHA Village Immersion Training; a 3-Day Training at MHA Village in Long Beach, CA held monthly September through June. In addition to the 3-Day Immersion we also offer 2-Day Employment & TAY Immersion Trainings. MHA Village staff and other MHA Trainers are also available to come to your agency for custom trainings & consultations.

Want to Tour the Village?
In order to accommodate the high volume of tour requests, the MHA Village Training Department has developed the Mini Immersion Training, offered one Wednesday of each month. Mini Immersion trainings consist of attendance at the Wednesday morning community meeting from 9:00 am to 10 am, followed by a presentation of our program structure and service philosophy, a tour of the Village and then we invite you to stay for lunch in our member-operated Deli where you can visit with staff and members.
There is no charge for the Mini Immersion , and lunch in the Deli is $6-10 (they accept cash, visa, mastercard, amex, or discover). For more information or to reserve a seat, please contact: Kristina Esquivel, kesquivel@mhala.org, 562.285.1330 x335.
Please note that these trainings fill up fast and space is limited!
