Other Projects Being Developed
- Trauma- An affiliation between the trauma work being done through USC Law School and at the Venice Family Clinic exists. We would like to help further expand this work.
- Low fee analysis: We will be able to fund a low fee psychoanalysis for one of the staff at the Venice Family clinic
- Low fee psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy: The Venice Family Clinic has more patients than they have therapy services for. Some of these patients would benefit from psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy. We want to raise funds, to pay therapists to see some of the VFC patients in their private offices.
