UC Davis Human Services

UC Davis Human Services Changing practice. Transforming lives. As our clients frequently tell us, “UC Davis isn’t just a contracted training partner. To build connection. To save a life.

For more than 40 years, we have empowered human services professionals by providing them with the research-informed and field-tested knowledge and best practices to excel throughout their careers. UC Davis Human Services began more than 40 years ago as a partnership between the University of California, Davis, and state government to provide rural counties with innovative new skills for their huma

n services workers. Since our formative years, the programs have grown to serve human services organizations and professionals throughout California and across the nation. We now deliver expertise in such practice areas as Child Welfare, Employment Services and Eligibility, Continuous Quality Improvement and Coaching, Leadership and Organizational Development, Elder and Dependent Adults, Tribal Social Services, Behavioral Health and Well-Being, and Wraparound Services. Our growth over the years can be attributed to one guiding principle: our unwavering commitment to listen to the needs of human services organizations and work as partners to create solutions that best serve adults, children and families. You’re part of our team.”

Your passion improves lives. Every day, every call, every visit has the potential to nurture hope. We share your passion.
