Through his teaching activities, he is helping develop the “next generation” of diverse mental health providers. Dr. Mock was the Director of the Family, Youth, Children’s and Multicultural Services, City of Berkeley Mental Health Division for twenty years. Dr. Mock went on to serve as the Director for the Center of Multicultural Development with the California Institute for Mental Health. Dr. Mock has consulted, trained, and provided services in over 45 of California’s 58 counties.
Dr. Mock will provide a series of trainings and be available for consultation to support the ability of Behavioral Health Bureau (“BHB”) staff members to provide culturally competent services to the community and in the workplace. Dr. Mock’s work includes the State of California’s focus of “Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility” as well as “Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards (Federal Office of Minority Health).” The course work provides a shared foundation for enhancing cultural diversity, equity, inclusion, and humility.
