When a few caring �ouls take action...

Nonprofi ts begin when someone sees a need and takes action. And so it was for us. In the 1930s, a few caring souls began underwriting counseling for women coping with the stress of the Great Depression. But it was not until 1942 that we opened our doors as Los Angeles Psychiatric Service.

Our fi rst budget of $5,000 would be about $71,000 today—a far cry from our actual budget of $40 million. The public’s increasing willingness to invest in mental health made that possible. Money isn’t the heart of our progress, though. Our progress is refl ected in the evolution of our mission, philosophy and treatment.

In the beginning, there was little diversity among our clients, although we had expanded services to include men. Today, our mission is to serve to see clients who were abusing alcohol or other communities where stigma and poverty limit substances. Now, we integrate mental health care, access. Our 11 centers extend from Pacoima to the substance abuse treatment, and primary care. Pico Union area to South L.A. Our newest center in Glendale serves the largest Armenian-American Clients also are actively involved in their treatment. population in the U.S. Our language capacity is No longer do clinicians keep diagnoses a secret. extensive, including Spanish-speaking counselors The more clients learn about their illnesses, the on our suicide prevention crisis line 24 hours a day better they can manage them.

, Its Never Too Late

For more than a decade, Crystal Li Cohen lived with a secret. To honor her mother’s wishes, Cohen told people that her father had died of a heart attack. In fact, Ruh-Ming Li, an engineer and entrepreneur, had died by suicide.

“My parents are fi rst-generation Taiwanese immigrants, and in my family, mental illness and suicide is a shameful thing, and should be hidden from others outside the family,” says Cohen, a Los Angeles fashion executive.

But Cohen’s view of her father’s death changed when, at the urging of her husband, Andrew, she completed a Survivors After Suicide group last year. After years of keeping her family’s secret, Cohen decided to tell the truth (Left to Right) Participants Anne Ruivivar and Yvonne Asea (Team Julian), Board Member Andrew Rubin, Emcee Julianne Grossman about her father’s death—in an email to everyone she knew—in her quest to raise awareness and support for Didi Hirsch’s Alive & Running 5K Walk/Run.

Participants honored loved ones lost to suicide by writing their names on river stones, which they placed among rose petals in a colorful “Remembrance Garden” that lined the course. As in past years, the crowd took their marks to cheers from CheerLA and drumbeats by Chikaro Daiko Japanese Taiko drummers.
