SFDPH Behavioral Health Services.
A documented case study of sustained, evidence-based institutional anti-racism work — and how it became the foundation of the Diagnosis Series and the Leadership Fellowship.
Selected through a competitive RFQ to serve as Behavioral Health Services' contracted anti-racism infrastructure consultant, King of Kings Consulting embedded inside the Behavioral Health Services division of the 8,000-employee San Francisco Department of Public Health — across three years (2023–2026). The Anti-Racism Leaders Fellowship was delivered across four cohorts, training 200+ leaders in a 16-week immersive curriculum. Six institutional policies were developed and implemented, including the Antiracism Recruitment & Hiring Policy, Healing Time Off, and Respect in the Workplace. 100+ executive coaching sessions were delivered with 18 executives across five competency domains. A race-conscious mediation protocol was designed and piloted, and racial affinity group infrastructure was built for Black/African American, Latinx, Asian, and White Accountability employees. The engagement received the California Medical Association's Cultural and Linguistic Competency & Implicit Bias Innovation Award, Overall Program (2025).
The quality of services provided was exceptional and transformative. Their facilitation, coaching, and strategic guidance resulted in sustained shifts in leadership practice, increased organizational accountability, and the development of long-term equity infrastructure.
