Mental Health and Violence Prevention: With Youth
Using trauma-informed and restorative practices:
We work with students and groups serving young people through culturally responsive approaches to overcome the challenges presented at schools in Oakland Unified and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts.
We provide education to raise awareness and prevent trafficking and exploitation of our people.
We help youth involved with the juvenile justice system learn strategies to safely response in situation of stress, fear, and conflict.
Mental Health: In the Aftermath of Homicide
We provide grief counseling and support services to surviving family/friends who have lost loved ones to homicide in Oakland, CA.
Mental Health Services: With Families
We work with parents and children referred to us by Child Protective Services in Contra Costa County to strengthen families, improve child well-being, and help children stay safely with their families in their home. This work may involve supporting families impacted by domestic violence.
This is a differential response program.
