Department of State Hospitals- Atascadero
The Department of State Hospitals-Atascadero is a secure forensic hospital located on the Central Coast of California, in San Luis Obispo County. It opened in 1954 and is a psychiatric hospital constructed within a secure perimeter. The majority of the all-male patient population is remanded for treatment by county superior courts or by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The hospital does not accept voluntary admissions.
Approximately 2,140 employees work at DSH-Atascadero providing round-the-clock care, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, psychiatric technicians, registered nurses, and other clinical and administrative staff. There are approximately 173 different job classifications at the facility, including hospital police, kitchen staff, custodial staff, warehouse workers, groundskeepers, information technology staff, plant operations staff, spiritual leaders, and other clinical and administrative staff.
The Trial Competency Program is for patients admitted to the hospital under Penal Code (PC) 1370 as Incompetent to Stand Trial. These patients receive a specialized program of treatment which is specifically to help the patient gain the knowledge and skills necessary to return to court. The goal is for the patient to understand court proceedings and effectively participate in their defense.
The Offenders with Mental Health Disorders (OMD) Program is for patients paroled to the hospital by authority of the Board of Paroles under provisions of PC 2962. Patients may be released to parole, placed in Conditional Release Program, or become civilly committed.
Finally, the hospital provides mental health services to inmates from California prisons under provisions of PC 2684. The focus of treatment is to stabilize symptoms so that the inmate/patient can function successfully in the Enhanced Outpatient Program at CDCR and/or in the community.

Education for Change Public Schools
Education for Change launched in 2005 with a mission to reimagine what’s possible for Oakland’s public schools. We began as a partner to the Oakland Unified School District to transform historically underperforming schools into thriving learning communities — places where students are truly seen, supported, and set up to succeed.
What started with the conversion of two schools grew into a full network. Today, we operate six free, public charter schools across the Fruitvale and Elmhurst neighborhoods, serving more than 2700 students from TK through 12th grade.
Our students come from communities too often underserved by the traditional system — 90% qualify as part of the state’s unduplicated count. In the neighborhoods we serve, half of the children don’t graduate from their zoned high school. But we are helping change that story — with high expectations, a deep belief in our students’ potential, and a learning environment built with them in mind.
At EFC, students are challenging the predictable patterns of performance and access in this country. They are mastering essential academic skills, building personal agency, and developing the confidence and identity needed to lead meaningful, productive lives
