WHAT WE DO
Our Program Integrates Mental Health Promotion and Peer Support Programs for the Youth in Our Communities. The program is focused on utilizing the youth within the community to support their peers. It is evidence based and uses strengths-based approaches, which have proven to have tremendous results in establishing resiliency and well-being in youth.
We provide high quality training programs for the youth in our program. We start with social-emotional lessons and a “Mental Health 101” class. All of our trainings are healing-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and focus on cultural humility. We believe this approach allows them to better understand themselves and the current condition of the youth we are serving.
Providing leadership skills, mentorship and training in coping and problem-solving skills. This well-rounded approach provides an outlet for the youth in our community and teaches them resilience and mental wellness.
