ABOUT AMANECER At CPLC

Amanecer aims to remove the barriers that have historically kept underserved and marginalized populations from seeking and receiving vital mental health care services. We empower underserved kids, adults, and domestic abuse victims to overcome barriers and significant life challenges through culturally competent, comprehensive mental health, psychiatric, and case management services. In Spanish, Amanecer roughly translates to “New Beginning”. We use that phrase to describe the meaningful differences our clients see in their lives after treatment.

Since 1975, with help from the county, foundations, and donors, we have provided hundreds of thousands of New Beginnings.

You will provide client-driven, trauma-informed services, either in office, telehealth or in the community, providing crisis support and stabilization.
