| Summary: | Therapist Shirley H. Jones was born on November 1, 1928 in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1953, Jones graduated from Los Angeles State College with her B.A. degree in education. She completed her graduate studies in speech therapy at the University of Southern California. When the Head Start program began in 1965, Jones was appointed to set up the first ten Head Start centers in Los Angeles. By 1968, increasingly aware of the special needs of their community, Jones and her husband founded the Kedren Community Mental Health Center in the Watts-Compton area of Los Angeles. From the time of its founding, the center grew to incorporate a full range of psychological services, including group and individual therapy for children and adults and programs in community psychology. A licensed marriage and family therapist with certification in psycho-drama, Jones earned her Ph.D. degree in psychology in 1998.
