Transforming lives every day
Didi Lazare Hirsch was a passionate advocate for mental health who helped lay the foundation for what is now Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. Alongside her husband, Kingdon, she supported the creation of a community mental health center in Culver City — a legacy that lives on through their family’s continued involvement.
Didi Hirsch provides compassionate mental health, substance use, and suicide prevention services to individuals and families, especially in communities where discrimination and injustice limit access.
A future where everyone has equitable access to care, and is empowered to achieve optimal mental health and well-being.
We are constantly innovating, learning from the communities we serve, and applying the latest research to advance best practices. We uphold the highest ethical standards to ensure we are providing compassionate and excellent care.
We are devoted to the well-being of our staff, volunteers, and communities, and believe healthy teams lead to healthy clients.
We value diversity of background, experience, and ideas. We celebrate differences and prioritize creating a sense of belonging.
We advocate across all levels of government and use our voice to reduce barriers to care with the goal of access to high quality, integrated health care for all.
We are dedicated to promoting health equity in our communities, and we work to dismantle disparities and discrimination within both systems of care and society.
We build partnerships in the community and across sectors to create a more inclusive and responsive mental health ecosystem and enhance greater accessibility to care and support.
A group of women began offering psychiatric support to those affected by the Great Depression, planting the seeds of Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services.
Incorporated in 1942, we became LA’s first nonprofit outpatient clinic for adults, expanding to serve veterans and growing through key partnerships.
We responded to the closure of inpatient facilities with innovative community care, opening a Venice clinic and introducing strength-based treatment.
Didi and Kingdon Hirsch helped establish our Culver City headquarters, expanding services to children, families, and women with substance use challenges.
We merged with local clinics, preserved the Suicide Prevention Center, and launched the Erasing the Stigma Awards to honor mental health champions.
Now serving 233,000+ people annually, we lead in crisis care, support youth through Teen Line, and continue expanding access across communities.
The story continues...
