Brief Program Description

According to Harvard University, "Every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable & committed relationship with a supportive adult." For Black children & families, barriers prevent therapeutic relationships to occur with the very adults intended to support. First, we will explore how historically Black people received mental health "support" & the current mistrust of service professionals. Lastly, we will explore how to build trust & serve Black youth & families for the future.
