Planting Seeds for Healthier, Stronger Communities.
We Help Organizations Turn Community Needs Into Sustainable Programs
Certified Woman- and Minority-Owned Business Serving Los Angeles County and California
SEED helps organizations design, strengthen, and launch culturally responsive programs and services in health, mental health, workforce development, and community wellbeing.
Our work is informed by the founder’s deep experience serving Latino and other underserved communities, with a focus on improving access, strengthening systems, and creating opportunities for youth, families, seniors, and people facing barriers to care and opportunity.
Why SEED?
SEED is led by Founder Carmen Perez, who brings more than 20 years of experience across healthcare systems, health plans, medical groups, hospitals, public health, and community-based settings. Her experience also includes behavioral health and mental health advocacy, including collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and efforts to expand access to culturally responsive mental health services and community resources.
Our strength is understanding healthcare and mental health systems from multiple perspectives — clinical, operational, organizational, public health, and community — and translating that knowledge into practical, culturally responsive, and sustainable programs that improve access, coordination, and outcomes.

Testimonials
Principal Consultant
"I have known Ms. Perez for 3.5 years, ever since I started my recent consulting work with the Department of Mental Health in July 2020. At that time, Ms. Perez was serving as Co-Chair for SALT 4 while working as a Project Manager for the Family Care Specialist Group at White Memorial (now Adventist Health White Memorial). Over the course of two years, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ms. Perez as I delivered capacity building trainings and as we worked collaboratively (along with other co-chairs) to strengthen DMH’s community stakeholder engagement system as specified in the YourDMH policies. A key product that emerged from this collaborative work was a framework (‘Organizational Structure’) that articulated the roles and responsibilities of co-chairs, liaisons, and other staff involved in leading and managing SALTs and UsCCs."

Director
“Carmen and I collaborated to bring Café Con Pan to the community in Boyle Heights. Café Con pan consists of free psychoeducational community workshops offered to the Latino community in Boyle Heights. As partners, it was important to help the community access and maintain mental health services as well as help decrease stigma about mental health. Carmen collaborated to expand the network of Café Con Pan presenters and partners in the hopes of continuing to build culturally sensitive and inclusive topics that would help educate as well as bring resources to the attendees. She assisted in accessing funds like county grants to help fund the cost of the workshops.”
