Abstract
This paper presents an interaction program between a community college and two community mental health resources in the college's geographical area as viewed from the vantage point of the college. As described in a complementary paper written by the same authors viewing the interaction from the vantage point of one of the mental health agencies, the primary aim in these interactions is to provide improved mental health services through cooperative training of college counselors and psychiatric residents. In addition, from the college's view a secondary aim has been the freeing of counselors for more functions of an educational and outreach nature.
