MISSION STATEMENT
We are professionals committed to the provision of accessible community mental health services. As such, the vision of CAPE is to bring together the best of innovative training programs, existing neighborhood resources, and available non-profit support structures. With these, we can rise to the challenge of providing state licensed professional mental health services to communities with limited resources.
CAPE provides the mental health professionals and programming, while our neighborhood partners provide physical locations for counseling and administrative space. We have signed agreements with a variety of neighborhood partners throughout San Diego County, allowing us to provide a multitude of services at their sites. We will continue to develop partnerships to support and expand existing programs, and provide new safety nets for at-risk communities in and around San Diego.
