The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences recognizes the importance of dedicated outreach for the early detection and effective treatment of psychiatric disorders. Through the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Training Program, department clinicians and residents collaborate with the Palo Alto Unified School District to provide direct intervention at local high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. In collaboration with district staff, program participants devise appropriate remedial and treatment services for children and adolescents with psychiatric difficulties.
The department also provides forensic consultation services to the legal community through its Center for Psychiatry and the Law. Applying their clinical expertise to mental health questions in court cases, depositions and other legal activities, department faculty are committed to informing judicial proceedings in a relevant and balanced manner.
