OUR STRATEGy
The Center promotes hope, health and healing through mental wellness awareness by utilizing and implementing evidenced- based education and life skills training program courses that have been shown to reduce the negative consequences of untreated or under-treated mental illness for people of color. Our training, mental health courses and education programs embrace biological, economic, psychological, social and spiritual principles supporting restoration and renewal of the human spirit, providing trainees with the latest state of the art information.
Through workshops, virtual and digital training courses and psycho-education programs, the Center is able to educate and empower trainees about how to better support their clients/constituents, on potentially devastating life issues, such as homelessness, trauma, domestic violence, unemployment, and mental health conditions. Social workers, mental health professionals, first -responders, families, and peer counselors, learn about risk factors, symptoms, protective factors as well as what to expect when treating and navigating the treatment process and how to successfully help manage the journey to implementing change.
