About

Founded in 1973, Pacific Center for Human Growth is the oldest LGBTQIA+ center in the Bay Area, third oldest in the nation, and operates the only sliding scale mental health clinic for LGBTQIA+ & QTBIPOC people and their families in Alameda County

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Vision

For Pacific Center, mental health and social justice are inextricably intertwined. We imagine a world in which everyone has access to culturally responsive care. Because we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion as core principles that guide all aspects of our work, we strive to address the deeply entrenched practices, cultural norms and decision making structures that perpetuate inequities within the mental health and social support systems. We know that unraveling the systemic oppression of marginalized groups requires an undaunting commitment to sustained self-reflection that leads to action. We have made mistakes in the past, and will continue to make mistakes on this journey. We strive to continually learn and to adapt in ways that center and uplift the LGBTQIA+ community at large; specifically QTBIPOC folx, at the intersections of race, age, class, religion, ethnicity, ability and diverse gender identities.
