About

This community-based program addresses trauma and mental health through culturally responsive, holistic approaches. It focuses on serving marginalized populations, including survivors of violence, poverty, and systemic oppression. The initiative integrates wellness practices, peer support, and mental health education to promote healing and empowerment. It often collaborates with other community organizations and UCLA researchers. The program’s mission is to support mental, physical, and emotional resilience in underserved communities.
