Our mission is to empower individuals and families experiencing poverty, abuse, and mental health concerns by improving overall well-being, advancing social justice, and ensuring equitable access to resources. Towards these efforts, we have core services and several initiatives that work synergistically to support our clients who come to us for help.Overview of Core Services:The GetHelp service offers ongoing assistance through email, text, and phone, connecting people with our trained Client Advocates who provide personalized guidance, referrals, and regular check-ins. The program has been successful in providing resources and support in areas including access to housing, nutrition services, drug rehabilitation, domestic violence safety, employment, healthcare services, and more, including ensuring individuals and families obtain city and state housing, food, and health care benefits/assistance (e.g., cityFEPS rental vouchers, housing lotteries, medicaid/care, WIC, SNAP, and more).The Open Space provides a no-cost, confidential, and inclusive platform for individuals to freely express their feelings and engage in non-judgmental mental health support. While not a substitute for clinical mental health therapy, it offers valuable emotional support, interpersonal connection, and compassion through our trained Client Advocates currently in graduate programs for Clinical/Counseling Psychology and Social Work.The Food First Program addresses food insecurities by collecting and delivering donated goods to individuals and families in need, helping them focus on long-term progress towards their well-being. In other words, we collect items in-kind and deliver groceries and other essential items (toiletries and hygienic products, weather-appropriate clothing such as jackets, gloves, etc.) directly to our clients that request them, on a need basis. Clients are then expected to collaborate with Client Advocates to improve their situation and reduce reliance on this program's assistance.Pathways for Emerging Leaders is our newest program, focused on offering support to clients, and prospective clients, in college admissions, General Educational Development (GED), Vocational Programs, and employment through workshops and ongoing mentorship.Overview of Initiatives:Operation Community Success is our in-house research team who are dedicated to ensuring we stay up to date with the latest concerns of the communities we serve to ensure we improve our services and impact.Community Impact Events are events we organize to support underserved neighborhoods, our current clients, and prospective clients. These events include holiday gift drives, hot meal distributions, voter registration, and environmental clean-ups. Past projects have helped feed and clothe thousands of people, created registered new voters, and contributed to cleaner and more sustainable neighborhoods." } ] } ] ```
