Advancing Health and Wellness
In any community, it takes a comprehensive, coordinated approach to improve and advance people’s health. The Karsh Center pursues this goal by offering trilingual (English/Spanish/Korean) services, connections, and support focused on enhancing the mental, social, and physical health of individuals and families in Los Angeles.
The Karsh Center provides holistic, personalized case management services to registered members navigating complex life challenges. Through a client-centered approach, our case managers assess needs, develop action plans, coordinate access to services, and offer ongoing support to help members achieve stability, independence, and improved well-being.
Services include:
- Application support: Assistance with utility assistance (when available) and limited financial assistance opportunities (when available)
- Food access: Food pantry information and coordination
- Health referrals: Connections to medical, dental, vision, and mental health providers based on member needs
- Safety resources: Domestic violence referrals and specialized support connections
Services not provided: Psychiatric care, housing/rental assistance, transportation funding, childcare funding, or direct medical procedure funding. Referrals to specialized agencies are provided for these needs.
