Mental health support

We provide mental health support to youth in the community, including therapy, brief support, peer mentoring, and support groups. This helps young people cope with every day stress and anxiety and improves their overall mental health and well-being. Beyond the youth in our community, this includes providing parenting support, counseling, and other services to families in need.

We focus on providing career development programs, including job training, apprenticeships, internships, and mentorship programs.
