The Muses Program has formed connections with other clinics to ensure that every minoritized youth can access the full spectrum of services that UCSF has to offer. Embedded within The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at UCSF, The Muses Clinic exists in collaboration with every other clinic in the Department, including:
Beyond The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at UCSF, the clinic has also built bridges with The Child and Adolescent Gender Center, The Department of Pediatrics at UCSF, and other departments.
Our program collaborates with these programs to ensure that youth receive the best care possible and can work with experts across the various psychiatric diagnoses that can co-occur in minoritized youth. The Muses Program also recognizes that many of these conditions can either be instigated by discrimination or worsened by continued instances of bias. Muses centers the individual and not only their psychiatric diagnoses, and also how to heal from and navigate the discrimination that worsens those diagnoses.
Our program continually and deeply appreciates the collaboration with - and support of - so many other clinics at UCSF.
