Consulting Services
SEED Health Solutions helps organizations translate ideas into impact. From strategic planning and grant development to training and evaluation, we provide the tools and guidance to build programs that are culturally responsive, financially sustainable, and tailored to diverse populations—including seniors, adolescents, children, and families.
Whether your team needs a one-time strategy session or long-term implementation support, SEED brings the clarity, structure, and partnerships required to transform mental health access and case management services across communities.
Strategy & Program Design
We design culturally responsive programs that are practical and user-friendly. Our approach includes a clear service model, step-by-step workflows for referrals, safety, follow-ups, and materials available in English and Spanish (EN/ES). Everything is tailored to your goals and your community’s needs. For example, our founder, Carmen Perez, served as a Project Manager for mental health integration with Adventist Health White Memorial and Family Care Specialists, where she co-designed mental health workflows by partnering with bilingual/bicultural CBOs—adding closed-loop referrals, safety protocols, and EN/ES patient materials.
Training & Workforce Development
We help build a bilingual/bicultural mental health workforce by combining practical training, high-quality supervision, and MSW internship pipelines. Our approach recruits local talent, equips interns and early-career staff with real-world skills, and supports supervisors so teams can grow confidently. Our founder, also served as a mentor to HCC (Health Career Connection) students, strengthening the talent pipeline from college to career. With clear career steps—from intern to hire to licensure—partners gain a steady pipeline of culturally responsive providers who improve access, trust, and results
Partnership Development
As a Project Manager of Mental Health Integration and Service Area Leadership Team (SALT)-4 Co-Chair with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH), our founder has spearheaded multi-sector coordination across community-based organizations (CBOs), government agencies, and healthcare systems. We forge alliances to ensure support feels connected—not fragmented. In partnership development, our founder led stakeholder mapping, convened cross-sector partners, and negotiated MOUs that clarified roles, data-sharing, and accountability. They established a shared governance structure (steering group + working groups), set a regular communication cadence (huddles, case conferences, joint trainings), and aligned partners on referral criteria, warm handoffs, and service goals.
Grant Development
As the Project Manager of Mental Health Integration, Carmen Perez successfully helped secure $1.2 million from the California Community Foundation for Adventist Health White Memorial. Additionally, she personally obtained approximately $100,000 from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) to train community leaders on the public mental-health system. Building on this impressive track record, SEED assists in securing the right funding, developing competitive proposals, and establishing sustainable multi-year contracts to ensure the growth and longevity of your programs. From prospect research and grant calendars to budgets, narratives, attachments, and compliance checklists, we provide end-to-end support to ensure your proposals are timely, funder-aligned, and ready to win.
Landscape Analysis
As the Project Manager of Mental Health Integration, Carmen Perez conducted an in-depth landscape analysis of East and Northeast Los Angeles communities to identify key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) within the mental health system. This work helped uncover service gaps, duplication, and barriers to care, informing targeted strategies to improve coordination and access.
At SEED Health Solutions, we build on this foundation to help organizations assess community needs, staffing, and service capacity with an equity lens to guide smart expansion. Using English/Spanish (EN/ES) outreach, simple surveys, focus groups, and a review of workflows and caseloads, we map what’s working, where bottlenecks exist, and who is being left out.
You’ll receive clear, actionable recommendations—including a phased growth plan, staffing model, and budget framework—to strengthen your programs and ensure sustainable, equitable impact across the communities you serve.
Policy & Advocacy
We engage in local and county initiatives to advance mental health policy reform, workforce equity, and systemic inclusion—and we bring lived advocacy experience to the table. As Co-Chair of the Latinx Mental Health Advocacy Concilio, Carmen Perez met with elected officials to advocate for bilingual/bicultural mental health services; these efforts helped inform and draft an L.A. County motion on Latino mental health. Drawing on that leadership, we help craft practical motions, testify on equity gaps, and convene partners so policy translates into real access for bilingual/bicultural communities. The result: stronger pipelines, fairer contracting, and programs that reflect the people they serve.
